Saleem LDA
Thee Desperado x Minstris Petunia LDA
2009 Bay Egyptian Arabian Colt

Another gorgeous bay colt by Thee Desperado and out of our beautiful Minstril daughter, Minstris Petunia LDA (out of MC Alexsis). Our veterinarian who competes in endurance rides was truly impressed when she saw this colt. She pointed out his long shoulder, long hip, short back, short cannon bone, big boned throughout! She was saying that this was an excellent endurance horse prospect!! And on top of all that, what a gorgeous head on this colt!

This colt is very exciting as you can see in these photos. His Grand Dam, MC Alexsis, was the highest scoring SE mare at the 2007 Egyptian Event. She is now winning shows in Europe as she was just exported last year – even receiving some perfect 20 scores! Very few offspring from this mare line so you have the rare opportunity to purchase this very special colt!
