Si Shy Mafeena

DF Montana Suena

 

Si Shy Mafeena, Straight Egyptian Mare
Al Khamsa - Asil

Safeen X Maani



How exquisite her ears
Pointed as a date flower bud
A comely blaze enhances her
Smooth cheeks
And generous mouth
And long black lashes.

-Bahraini Poet
 
The grey mare the renowned, in the world there is none like her...
Spare is her head and lean, her ears pricked close together;
Her forelock is a net, her forehead a lamp lighted
Illumining the tribe; her neck curved like a palm branch
Her wither clean and sharp....Her forelegs are twin lances,
Her hooves fly forward faster ever than flies the whirlwind,
Her tail-bone held aloft, yet the hairs sweep the gravel.

- from Abu-Zeyd's romance "The Stealing of the Mare"


So this is Shy, the jewel in my life...my companion...my sister...

I've had Shy for about one year, and she has taught me, as only an asil Arabian can, that not submission, but mutual trust, is truly the way to bond with your horse. Trust built slowly, working together, playing together, learning from each other...
