This extremely stylish and handsome, unusually harmonious, full of type, with a beautifully long neck and exquisite head, milk-white stallion was the best European son of El Shaklan 1975 (Shaker El Masri – Estopa/Tabal), a result of an Egyptian-Spanish combination, successfully executed by Heinz and Sigi Merz, owners of Om El Arab stud in Germany.
