N.V. Masira (Bey Shah+ x Shantu+)

(Note:  After experiencing several difficult years due to founder, our beloved Masira softly whispered her last good-bye to us on November 8, at 8 a.m., in 2007.  She leaves a large empty spot in  our hearts.  During her last years, she would regularly, and on her good days,  be seen roaming freely about the farm, grazing wherever she chose - our Queen.  In spite of her lameness, she would often be found, standing in front of one of the stallions' stalls expressing her desire to have one more baby, as impossible as this would have been for her - in our view.  We know that these marvelous beings can dwell with us for only a few short years, and that we must strive to do the best we possibly can by them.  We can only hope, Masira, that  we have achieved this with  you, even though we feel  reassured of this when we look at the beautiful babies by Amurath Baikal and Afire Bey V that you have entrusted to us.)

1982 Chestnut Purebred Arabian Mare

We are very proud of our Bey Shah+ daughter,  N.V. Masira. Masira's dam Shantu+, is a US Top Ten English Pleasure horse.  An extremely accomplished show mare herself  and an outstanding producer.  N.V. Masira is a Canadian National Top Ten Halter Champion (at age 3!), Star World Reserve Champion Mare, Region 13 Champion and Region 18 Reserve Champion Mare. She is also a multi Champion English Pleasure Horse.  Masira is a full sister to Bey Maraba - US and Canadian National Top Ten Mare.

Masira has had eight fillies and two colts for us.  Her life long partner has been Amurath Baikal with the exception of the year 2000 when she was bred to Afire Bey V.  The resulting filly, Hearts Afire RF has been shown once as a yearling and was Eastern Canadian Breeders Champion Purebred Yearling Filly.  Three of Masira's Amurath Baikal daughters  have been shown:  Simply The Best - Region 16 and East Coast Champion Mare, Region 18 Top Five Mare; Simply Irrisistable - Champion Mare, AOTH Tulip Arabian Horse Festival (only time shown); and Silent Wings - 1998 Region 15 Top Ten Yearling Sweepstakes Champion (32 fillies in the class) and Junior Champion Yearling Filly, NY Summer Festival.

In 1998 Masira presented us with her first colt. He is  Earl Grey - 2001 US National Top Ten Futurity Colt and 2004 Region 18 Champion Stallion. 

Masira's last baby to foal was a wonderful bay Amurath Baikal filly in 2004.  Her name is China RF and she now makes her home with Gisela and Walter Mantler of Wheatley, Ontario.

Masira has more than earned her retirement here at Rideaufield.  In the summer months she is the "Queen of the Land" and has the freedom to come ands go anywhere she wants on the farm.  We treasure her son Earl Grey and her daughters.

1994 Bay Purebred Arabian Mare

She is aptly named...Simply The Best. From the moment she was born, she was beautiful both in mind and body. A beautiful face with huge soft eyes, a lovely long shapely neck, very refined through the body and the legs and a 'tail up over the back' attitude.  Simply is the favourite of most farm visitors. 

In the show ring Simply has excelled. Region 16 Top Five Yearling Sweepstakes Champion - then  Region 16 Champion Mare at age 3 and East Coast Champion Mare at age 4.  In 2004 at age 10, Simply returned to showing and was named Supreme Champion Arabian at the Tulip Arabian Festival. In the words of the judge: "this horse epitomizes what to me is the true Arabian mare."

Simply has been on breeding lease for  two years to Shea  Stables of St. Clair, MI.  She has produced for them a 2001 Padrons Psyche filly and a 2003 Afire Bey V (who is outstanding!)  She has also produced an outstanding colt in 2005 by our own Xceptshahn.  This young fellow, Xceptshahnal Call RF is now in Nova Scotia with the Braithwaites with plans for him as a show horse and breeding stallion.

From a wonderful show horse to a wonderful mother, to a wonderful riding companion on the trails, she really is Simply The Best!

Simply The Best  foaled a beautiful Pomerol daughter, "Simply Unique" ("Nikki") in 2006.  Future plans include a breeding again to Afire Bey V.

2001 Chestnut Purebred Arabian Mare

NV Masira’s lifelong breeding partner has been Amurath Baikal. The one exception is when she was bred to Afire Bey V to produce her daughter Hearts Afire RF. This lovely filly has been shown once as a yearling and was named Eastern Canadian Breeders Champion Yearling Filly. This athletic mare will have a show career ahead of her as a Country English Pleasure horse.  A glimpse of this coming greatness was seen in August of 2006 when, her first time out under saddle, and beautifully presented by Leslie Lloyd, she placed first in one class and second in another, at a Dressage Schooling Show at the Clark's Starlit Farm near Richmond, Ontario.  In 2007 she produced a colt by  National English Pleasure and Pleasure Driving Champion, A Temptation.  Congratulations to  the Davidson's and the Falls'  on the purchase of Hearts Afire's   baby, A Sensation RF!

Alia Nazada ("Leah") herself was East Coast and Egyptian Event Futurity Champion as a yearling.  Although never shown under saddle, she was trained by Stachowski Farms and is a lovely Western Pleasure horse.  She is a tall long necked, deep bodied, very correct mare.  She has proven herself over and over as a brood mare of extreme merit.

At the 2004 Eastern Canadian Breeders Championships, three of Leah's babies were in the Top Six placements, including the Champion and the Reserve Champion.  Perhaps her best known daughters are  Pretty Woman + (2004 Region 16 Champion Mare, Open and AOTH, three-time Eastern Canadian Breeders Champion Mare and Liz Taylor RF, owned by Faye Sampson of Pennsylvania,, 2004 Eastern Canadian Breeders Reserve Champion Mare and Region 18 Top Five Mare AOTH.  A Questionable Lady, her daughter by Close  Call (x Amurath Baikal), was also Top Six in the Mare Class and the Western Pleasured Division of the Eastern Canadian Breeders Championships.   She is owned by Wanda Burrows. 

Waiting in the wings and no less outstanding, are two more of her offspring  by Xceptshahn - an Xceptshahnelle Woman RF and the dynamite colt Colorado RF.  You saw Colorado  in the 2005 Yearling Sweepstakes classes shown by Classic Arabians of Delaware in Regions 12, 15 and 16.  Watch for him again in 2006.

From the time she entered the show ring as a yearling, Pretty Woman+ has rarely been defeated.  Probably the winningest show mare in Canada, Pretty Woman+ was, again in 2004, named Eastern Canadian Breeders Champion Mare for the third consecutive year!  This win followed on the heels of her being named Region 16 Champion Mare both in the Open  and Amateur Division!  We are thrilled to announce that Pretty Woman+ has now earned enough points for the Legion of Honour award.

Pretty Woman+ has matured into a beautiful mare.  She is extremely tall, yet has retained her femininity.  She is elegant, athletic and is just a beautiful individual to look at.  Pretty Woman produced her first foal in 2006 - a beautiful, athletic filly,  "Sprint" (registered name to be determined) by  to the outstanding young stallion  Baske  Afire.  Her future includes both continued work under saddle as well as making beautiful babies.
