• We had a very successful fiscal year-end, thanks to the success of the Gleannloch Project. These funds will be held in reserves for board-approved projects which overall benefit our Society and the Egyptian Arabian horse world-wide.
• We produced an incredibly-impressive 2014-2015 inaugural Yearbook, working with Arabian Horse World. It's been a long-time goal of our Society to produce one comprehensive annual "go-to" publication, which highlights our horses, our members, and our activities. On behalf of the entire Society, please accept our gratitude for your support of it. In addition, hats off to the untold efforts of our PR Committee, the staff and the Arabian Horse World staff in putting this together. Efforts have already begun to continue building on this successful formula for 2016. And one additional note. If you're planning an open house in 2015, what more impressive publication could you have on hand for your attendees than this Yearbook? Current members may order complimentary copies of the Yearbook, and pay only the shipping charges. Contact The Pyramid Society office for further details. (It's another great member benefit.)
• The reinstatement of Egyptian-Sired classes at the 2015 Egyptian Event, with their own Championships. Look for the 2015 EE Schedule on our website in February.
• Another exciting happening in 2015 includes our National Breeders' Conference entitled "The Art of Breeding Straight Egyptian Arabian Horses" and scheduled for the weekend of August 21st in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the Yearbook, Keri Wright, our Education Co-Chair, recapped the successful conference in Egypt which served as the catalyst for this one. Further details will be included in both our Chariot and our website. Mark your calendars; you won't want to miss it.

It has been a lifelong dream of Daniel Cable to raise and breed Straight Egyptian Arabians. In 2012, his dream came true. He finally got an opportunity to purchase his first Straight Egyptian mare, Infidels Angel, who was sired by Thee Infidel.

Heir Born

Very soon after, a chance meeting with Beth Nash, previous owner of Mecca Arabians, who stood world class breeding champion Imperial Imdal+, led to Daniel purchasing Imperial Imdal's son, Heir Born. "Heir Born has excellent depth of hips and croup, excellent legs and structure, smooth body and length of neck," says Danny, "and Heir Born is the ONLY living stallion in the USA by Imperial Imdal+ out of a Shaikh Al Badi daughter. Only three stallions of this cross were born, and one of them, Shaikh Al Shamal, sired multiple Egyptian Event halter winners. The third, Imtir, is now deceased. Heir Born's dam line traces to the Babson Egyptian Imports. His fifth dam is National Champion producer Faaba who is of the same strain as triple U.S. Top Ten Stallion and National Champion sire Ansata Ibn Halima++, to whom Heir Born traces his sire line."

Soon after making these purchases, Danny called his best friend, Walt Bagar and his wife Donna. They came over to look at his new stallions. Like Daniel, Walt thought they were the most beautiful horses he had ever seen, and later that day he and his wife became co-owners, forming Asante' Arabians. Since then, Asante' Arabians has obtained five more broodmares: an Anaza El Farid daughter, an Ibn Safinaz daughter, an Imperial Imdal daughter, a Sharif Dakar daughter, and an Imtut daughter.
