*SIMEON SOCHAIN: NOT JUST ANOTHER PRETTY FACE
With his deep liver chestnut coat and glorious flaxen mane and tail, *SIMEON
SOCHAIN greatly resembles his dam’s 3/4 sister, unanimous Australian National
Champion Mare and Arabian Breeders World Cup Reserve Champion Mare *SIMEON
SEHAVI, now in Dubai. His beauty is unquestioned-he was the 1996 Australian Reserve
National Champion Colt and 2002 Queensland Challenge Supreme Male Champion. He
is also a supreme athlete, with his talent earning him the title of 2000 Australian Horse of
the Year Reserve Champion Under Saddle. *SIMEON SOCHAIN has proven himself a
sire of beautiful athletes in his native Australia. His part-Arabian son KOWHAI
SECULUSION is the 2006 Australian National Champion Senior Partbred Gelding.
Another son, CHASWYCK OVATION, is an Australian National Champion Gelding
Under Saddle. His son DUNBAR MAHADIK was second in the 2008 Tom Quilty
National Endurance Ride, which is 160 kilometers over rough terrain against all breeds
and a large field of competitors (200 this year). This ride is comparable to America’s
famed Tevis Cup ride. DUNBAR MAHADIK is now qualified for the World Cup
Endurance Race. And, as an added bonus, *SIMEON SOCHAIN carries a strong black
gene, having already sired the gorgeous black stallion CHASWYCK ACE OF SPADES,
a sire of Australian champions despite his early demise at age 8. *SIMEON SOCHAIN
offers American breeders an exceptional opportunity to breed to a straight Egyptian
stallion that is a proven sire of halter and endurance horses, from one of the most
successful Egyptian breeding programs worldwide.
*SIMEON SOCHAIN’s achievements in the show ring and breeding barn are the result
of his superb heritage. He was bred by master breeder Marion Richmond, whose straight
Egyptian program began with the importation of the exceptional 27 IBN GALAL-5, bred
by Hungary’s Babolna Stud. She has founded a dynasty of worldwide winners who have
won national championships in the toughest competition in North America, the Middle
East and Europe. Herself an Australian National Champion Mare, she is the dam of
Australian National Champion Mare SIMEON SUKARI (a full sister to *SIMEON
SOCHAIN’s dam SIMEON SIMONA) and Australian National Champion Mare
SIMEON SAFANAD, dam of *SIMEON SOCHAIN’s sire, multi-National
Champion SIMEON SADIK and of multi-National Champion Stallion *SIMEON
SHAI+, both sires of National Champions. A great stallion must come from an
exceptional female family, and *SIMEON SOCHAIN traces to 27 IBN GALAL-5
through the dam lines of both of his parents. His pedigree is a masterpiece of thoughtful
linebreeding, insuring that the best traits from his ancestors are firmly fixed in his get.
*SIMEON SOCHAIN is a paternal brother to a bevy of international winners, including
multi-National Champion HS BELLISSIMA, Tulip Cup (Holland) Reserve Junior
Champion Filly HS CINDERELLA, Jordan International Reserve Supreme Champion
Female SIMEON SHAS, SIMEON SIVAN (dam of Ajman Reserve Junior Champion

SEDEK (who was on the list in 2007 and 2008) and *SIMEON SACHI (who was on the
list in 2009 and is a 3/4 brother to SIMEON SIMONA). The secret of *SIMEON
SOCHAIN’s success as a show horse in halter and under saddle and a sire of get as good
as he is can be seen through analysis of the pedigree of his maternal granddam and
paternal great-granddam 27 IBN GALAL 1-5. Her sire, IBN GALAL, is a 3/4 brother to
U.S. Reserve National Champion Mare and Top Ten English Pleasure, Western Pleasure
and Native Costume *NAHLAH++, the most decorated imported Egyptian show mare in

U.S. Reserve National Champion Mare BINT BINT HANAA+, and U.S. National
