Malabar Dauntless ( Malabar Denmark X Malabar Sheen )
This fancy black straight Malabar performance colt is Malabar Denmark's first straight Malabar son, and only Malabar Sheen's second straight Malabar foal. Dauntless is 84.375% Crabbet-Maynesboro-Kellogg bloodlines, with the balance of his pedigree Babson Egyptian, for an outstanding versatile, using pedigree known for laid-back willing temperaments, correct conformation, and great trot. He is 100% Early American Foundation breeding (all lines trace to Stud Book V) The first five generations of his pedigree read like a who's who of outstanding early Arabians: Raffles, Roda, Zarife, Abu Farwa, Joharah, Hallany Mistanny, Hanad, Gamil, Ibn Hanad, Gayr, My Bonnie Nylon, Joye, Sunny Acres Lovejoye, Prince Ebony, and Malabar Duke, to name a few. He boasts 19 crosses to black in the first five generations and is likely homozygous for black since his sire has tested homozygous and his dam has produced only black foals in 12 breedings. His tail female is Bint Yamama, who has traditionally been considered a Jellabiet Feysul damline, from Yamama, making his strain Kuhaylan Jallabi. However, mitochondrial DNA has shown that damline to be from a different Yamama (the one who was also the dam of Mesaoud) with a Ghazieh damline, which makes the strain Saqlawi Jidrani. Imprinted and handled extensively since birth, this laid-back gorgeous boy was born broke. He will be retained for the Malabar Preservation program to eventually replace his sire.
