"We enjoy the hospitality of The Society, the people we meet, and those we see every year. The Event is like a big family reunion. We all have the love of the horses in common..."
 Waco, Texas is the setting for our December Member Spotlight on John and Jeri Merryman of Merryman Arabians. The Merrymans first became involved with the Egyptian Arabian horse in 1995 at a newcomer conference in Houston hosted by Arabians Ltd. at the DeShazer Arabians farm... "It was a dream come true to see these graceful fillies and mares running free in the pasture and having magnificent stallions presented to us," they recall, "We began to think about being a part of this... At the time, we could just dream; we needed to spend the day at the farm in Waco, TX to learn first-hand about the breeding business and these wonderful horses." And after the Merrymans' first visit to Arabians Ltd., viewing the horses and learning about their pedigrees, they leased and later bought an Ali daughter which would become Merryman Arabians' foundation mare - eventually producing seven foals for John and Jeri. "Most of our mares' accomplishments have been through their foals," state the Merrymans. " TF Shardali (Imperial Imdal+ x Nilequest Sharah) produced Emperial Sparkle, who then produced Bint al Riyahh who placed in Vegas and The Event. Also out of TF Shardali was Thee Makers Rose who was unanimous EBC Filly Champion in 2001, and in later years was Liberty class champion. Our Ministril daughter Maaristral gave us Infidels Imaara who won at The Event. Preciouss Secret, our present foundation mare, went Top Ten in the EBC in 2004. Then in 2012, Nadira al Jameela MA, our Desperado filly, out of a Mishaal daughter that we bred, came in Top Ten in the 1 Year Old Fillies Futurity class." The Merrymans are quick to count The Egyptian Event's annual festivities as among their fondest memories of their participation in The Pyramid Society..." |

Pam and David Lawson of El Shadi Arabians in Maryville, TN, are proud to announce that their Straight Egyptians shown at the 2012 Music City Arabian Horse show in November "rocked the house." According to Pam and David, "Our ES Hpnotiq Dream (Diamante LDV x Shahalah CAHR) won the yearling filly class and went on to win the Junior Filly Championship. Our ES Xtreme Cassanova (Cale Thee Xtreme x Soheira) won the 2 year old colt class and the Junior Colt Championship."
Pam and David extend a special thanks to Rakis Arabians in Rockwood, TN and to Mr. Rich Simpkins, trainer and handler, for training and showing El Shadi's horses. "We are also excited about our two foals due next year by The Renegade, native costume winner at the 2011 EE, and we are also proud to add the beautiful Thee Desperado daughter Georgia Inasa to our broodmare herd... she will be bred to Jadoube Ibn Lahab DMF (2012 Supreme Champion Stallion at the Music City show) in the spring."
Look for El Shadi Arabians at the 2013 EE with a 2012 Bay SE colt by Jadoube Ibn Lahab DMF in the yearling futurity colts class with trainer Rich Simpkins.
