Halyr is sired by Ajman Moniscione, who also had tremendous success as a yearling, winning the 2004 European Reserve Champion Stallion title and the Best Head award at the World Championships in Paris. That abundance of type can be attributed to crosses to Padron on the top line of both of Moniscione’s own parents’ pedigrees.
Halyr Meia Lua’s dam, Halya De Jylbert, provides another double-dose of Arabian type, this time through Ali Jamaal and El Shaklan.

On the distaff side, Halya is out of an Ali Jamaal daughter who is out of a daughter of the great El Shaklan. The combination of bloodlines is a harmonious blend of the best from the past that has created a contemporary treasure-trove for discriminating breeders.
