An amazing resource has just been shared publicly by the The Pyramid Society Foundation. The following is a link to all of the Straight Egyptian Reference Handbooks published by the Pyramid Society. Many of these handbooks are now hard to find or simply too expensive to buy. See link below.

Secretariat.“Pure Heart”:On the long ride from Louisville, I would regale my friends with stories about the horse—how on that early morning in March ‘73 he had materialized out of the quickening blue darkness in the upper stretch at Belmont Park, his ears pinned back, running as fast as horses run; how he had lost the Wood Memorial and won the Derby, and how he had been bothered by a pigeon feather at Pimlico on the eve of the Preakness (at the end of this tale I would pluck the delicate, mashed feather out of my wallet, like a picture of my kids, to pass around the car); how on the morning of the Belmont Stakes he had burst from the barn like a stud horse going to the breeding shed and had walked around the outdoor ring on his hind legs, pawing at the sky; how he had once grabbed my notebook and refused to give it back, and how he had seized a rake in his teeth and begun raking the shed; and, finally, I told about that magical, unforgettable instant, frozen now in time, when he turned for home, appearing out of a dark drizzle at Woodbine, near Toronto, in the last race of his career, 12 lengths in front and steam puffing from his nostrils as from a factory whistle, bounding like some mythical beast of Greek lore.

Above, Secretariat’s Kentucky Derby.Secretariat's winning time is the record for the Kentucky Derby and he became the first horse in history to run the race in under 2 minutes. Sham also broke the previous course record along with Secretariat that day. That's Truly Epic!

Such a beautiful mare who is a proven producer. Lots of possibilities with this Mishaal daughter.

RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN/LEASE A MISHAAL HP DAUGHTER

Mishaal HP was one of the greatest straight Egyptian stallions of all times. His daughters are becoming harder to find making this a great opportunity for someone looking to add that bloodline to their breeding program.

Lady Sinan (Mishaal HP x Pimlicos Lady RCA by Pimlico RCA) is a proven producer and great mom. She currently has a Botswana filly on her side and has also produced a filly by Bellagio RCA and a c**t by The Sequel. At 11 years old, she is still in her prime producing years.

Owners are willing to sell and/or lease her with a breeding to either Botswana or Aria Bakare.

Inquiries to [email protected] or call Mark at 540-460-7195.

How would you like this beautiful face in your barn??

This black bay straight Egyptian Arabian yearling filly is the total package…type, movement and pedigree. GCA Astrid Magic (Magic Elixir x Shaharas Sequel RCA by The Sequel RCA) inherited the best traits of both parents. She is sweet and easy to work with but fires up when asked and will take your breath away!

Serious inquiries only. PM me or call Mark at 540-460-7195.
