Dunwingeri El Shaareef was never shown much due to family commitments, but when we were able to get out, he often did very well. Placing regularly, with Top Five honours and even Champion Open Stallion at The All Arabian Summer Show back in 2003 - a huge feat considering many a judge often pulled a frown at his scarring in front.

Standing 15 hands tall, Dunwingeri El Shaareef is not typical of the ultra-refined Egyptian Arabians you see around the shows. He has incredible bone density and his structure is strong and sturdy. He is a clasic example of the authentic desert war horse. Super fine skin, veins popping naturally, eyes sharp, and always keen to charge up the next mountain to take more ground for his kingdom. His courage is one of my favourite traits.

There has been an increase in the divide between the two sides of breeding Arabians. The first searches for beauty, type and presence. The second searches for conformation, balance, and function. It hasn't been for the benefit of the breed on a whole. But we hold fast to seeking the original Arabian that has all of the above. The one that is beautiful, typey and has the presence, but one that you have no hesitation of throwing a saddle on his back and race the wind to the tops of mountains.

The Arabian is renown for his spirit and exuberance. They are never boring to have around. And when you are blessed with one that you share a real partnership with, you get to experience a whole new world of possibilities. You learn lessons that you can rarely if ever learn any other way. They truly are a blessing from God.

Sometimes, when all the excitement and high spirits settle down, you are left with a quiet moment where there is nothing but peace. Dunwingeri El Shaareef has one of the most loving and loyal temperaments I've experienced on a stallion. The best part is that he passes on that same loyal personality to every single one of his foals. They all possess his courage, his spirit, and his will to live. All have strong bonds with their humans.

Apart from myself, no one has photographed this beautful stallion more than Jess Bailey. From a young teenager, Jess has claimed the position of his number one fan. And whenever the opportunity presents itself, she never says no to sitting astride his back. Saddle or bare, he never fails to put a huge smile on her face.
