I'd been waiting to meet this last foal of the season for Chetar Arabians for many years.. The lovely Kaysand Kameeka joined the Chetar family way back when Azzaam was only a few months old, and was purchased with the sole view of being bred to Azzaam once he was of age. On the 5th March 2010 at 11pm, my long wait was finally over with the arrival of the second Purebred Arabian bred at Chetar Arabians. My hope was that we would be gifted with a chestnut or bay based foal that wouldn't grey out - Imagine my surprise when I saw this young lady in daylight for the first time! I realized quickly that all the white I was looking at was not foal cream but was in fact Maximum Rabicano! In addition she has inherited all of those prepotent characteristics - fine throat, hooky neck, huge shoulder, short back and length through the hindquarter - that Azzaam is consistently stamping all of his foals with. This young lady has also inherited her sires' cheeky, outgoing nature - So much so that she has been named "Chetar El Tayieshah" - The Arabic translation being 'The Mischevious Youngster'.. A name inherently suited to this gorgeous, playful rascal !

Chetar El Tayieshah - aka "Ty" - combines the coloured El Shaklan and Russian breeding of her sire with that of the 75% Straight Egyptian/25% Crabbet breeding of her dam. Four crosses to El Shaklan, along with the Russian lines of Nariadni, Nabeg, Muscalean and Muscat all through her prepotent sire AZZAAM, combined with a double cross to El Hilal and the additional Straight Egyptian influences of Raadin Royal Star, Imperial Al Kamar and Hoyeda, through her dam KAYSAND KAMEEKA, all up close in Tayieshah's world class pedigree.
Tayieshah is a Flaxen Chestnut Maximum Rabicano in colouring. She was born with a fully fledged Skunk Tail [or coon tail] and intense white ticking with skin mottling throughout her flank, belly, chest, upper legs [forearm and gaskin], throatlatch, jaw, tail and dock. She also had faint rib barring and wither ticking at birth, and mane, tail and leg frosting in addition! Most Rabicanos' are born with only the faintest of indications of the gene, with the certainty that they carry the Rabicano Gene coming when the foal coat is shed, as the gene [generally] develops and intensifies with age. The fact that Chetar El Tayieshah was born with all of the Rabicano Gene indicators for the Maximum to Extreme expressions - That usually aren't present until 6months of age even in the most intense of expressions - Is an indication of just how "colourful" this young lady will become as she matures. I was dearly hoping for a non-grey, improved version of Kameeka - And Tayieshah is just that + COLOUR! Quite a surprising - but spectacular! - way to finish off the season at Chetar Arabians!
