(Scapa x LPS Thunderstruck) 2011 Bay Straight Egyptian Stallion
Witts End Arabians is owned by Elizabeth Witt. “Beth” has given thoughtful consideration to her breeding decisions. Her investment of time and energy has been consistently rewarded. As a breeder she has had the privilege of being awarded the coveted Egyptian Breeders’ Challenge, Perpetual Trophies in 2011 & 2012 by The Pyramid Society. Ibn Raad, “Son of Thunder” (out of LPS Thunderstruck and sired by Scapa) has exceeded her expectations. True to his strain (Hadban Enzahi) Ibn Raad is everything a breeder hopes to achieve. Raising the bar even higher for producing bloodstock that will meet the “Standards of Excellence” in the ever more competitive breeding community.
“Being Ibn Raad’s trainer for the past 5 years has been an honor. He is definitely a once in a lifetime horse. He is always ready to greet me when I walk in the barn. He has so much personality and loves to be the center of attention. We have a special bond. He is definitely one of my best friends and can always put a smile on my face. I look forward to sharing new adventures with “Loverboy”. A new chapter begins for Ibn Raad as his foals are starting to hit the show ring.”- Tara Carpio
Ibn Raad, exemplifies exotic type and presence. As soon as you see him his elegant form is seductive to the eye, drawing one to travel from his delicate muzzle with large expansive nostrils to his luminous dark eyes and beautifully formed tippy ears. Then you pause for a moment and enjoy his swan like neck flowing smoothly to a perfectly sloped shoulder and on to a strong back and excellent hip and loin. When released, all the parts are in harmony, combinded with his charismatic personality and it’s… Let the Show Begin! You are invited to contact Beth for a farm visit or to learn more about Witts End Arabians.

“I love my herd. I truly appreciate the advice and help of all those who have helped me in obtaining, breeding, and showing of these amazing animals. Every breeder should consider obtaining the best mares possible. It makes a difference. LPS Thunderstruck is a fine example. I am in awe of her beauty and disposition. This flows through to her foals. I feel honored to be in her presence, as does anyone that has been around her. Of course, all the mares are royalty here. I have tried to carefully select mares and stallions to breed based on phenotype and genotype with great results. I am even more excited about my program now than ever, with Ibn Raad’s accomplishments in the show ring, and the foals he is putting on the ground. I never intended to breed, own, or stand a stallion at stud. But he gave me no choice. We are all so excited about the results we are seeing from both SE and Pure Arabian breeders both here and abroad. LPS Thunderstruck gave us a treasure when she produced Ibn Raad.” ~ Beth Witt
