Simply The Best
(Amurath  Baikal  x  NV Masira)

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!
