AS Black Duchess - ( Malabar Ibn Duke X HS Tirzah )
This pretty, very sweet-dispositioned straight Malabar mare features 16 crosses to black in the first four generations with 73% CMK breeding, and 27% Babson. She is 100% American Foundation, with only the Hearst-imported Mounwer preventing her from being 100% Early American Foundation breeding. Her bloodlines include Fadl, Hallany Mistanny, Raseyn, Prince Ebony, Skowronek, Fa-Serr, Zarife, Abu Farwa, Farana, and Fadjur. She is a Basilisk (Blunt) tail female, Saqlawiyah Jidraniyah of Ibn Ad-Darri in strain. Bred to the black CMK/Egyptian stallion Black As Night, she had a gorgeous black colt in 2005, Le Black Night. She is confirmed in foal to the homozygous black straight Malabar stallion Jamboree Tuxedo, for a 2008 black performance foal. Under saddle, she has wonderful smooth gaits, and is currently learning to be a great trail horse.
