MARANI El Malikah possessed extraordinary and most exquisite type, had such an extreme face and huge dark eye, that everyone who saw her had been only of highest respect with words and felt excitement for her - as she is of such an outstanding beauty!
The 1985 born MARANI el Malikah was a straight Egyptian of most valuable bloodlines. Her dam is the famous "Queen of straight Egyptian Breeding", MALIKAH, her sire, the great MAYMOON, who unfortunately passed away at only eleven years due of a fatal accident. MARANI is the result of a very careful inbreeding while MAYMOON is a grand son of MALIKAH. MARANI's breeders, Dr. Erwin and Frank Filsinger, from Germany, made the decision for those inbreedings to MALIKAH based on knowing those horses, bloodlines and family very well for years. Impressed by many foals born in this family from different breedings, they were sure that this inbreeding would work. And it did - very positively
MALIKAH was bred twice to her grandson MAYMOON, resulting in the 1983 born, excellent broodmare and very typey MUNIFAH Bint Malikah, dam of Filsinger Arabians' herdsire MOGADOR El Malik; and in 1985, to MARANI El Malikah who was MALIKAH's last foal.
While the Filsingers were never keen to bring their horses to the shows, and when they did, it was mainly the stallions in order to promoting them, whilst the mares remained unshown. Nevertheless, they created their reputation anyway, especially in the straight Egyptian field, as their individual qualities, their highly valued and most prominent pedigree, and by their progeny, the sons and daughters.
MARANI's first foal was her 1989 born daughter MAHARANI NABILAH (by Nabil Ibn Nazeefa), a distinguished mare of wonderful type, huge dark eye, an elegant, long and very clean neck, and with wonderful refinement. Showing off herself, she was such kind of horse and model to be seen in old and new classical drawings and paintings. Unfortunately MAHARANI passed away after her 2004 born son, MAJEED El Mogador, had been weaned. He will carry on her blood at the Filsinger Arabian stud and to the breeding.
In 1991, MARANI El Malikah gave birth to a younger full brother to MAHARANI, the very typey MAHARAN EL NABIL (by Nabil Ibn Nazeefa), a stallion of great charisma and presence in action and movement! In the 'Walk of Fame/ Portraits' section you may see and learn more about him as a stallion and sire - see his individual portrait.
In 1995, another son was born, SHEIKH MARAN. He is a stallion of classical Dahman Shahwan type with really outstanding, powerful and yet light and smooth movement with a wonderful upright stance. SHEIKH MARAN is by SHEIKH MAYMOON (Maymoon x Maisa), who is a brother in blood to MARANI. Again very close breeding, which is only possible as of the longterm experience of the breeders, Dr. Erwin and Frank Filsinger, with this bloodline and family, and it improved with MARAN again.
MARANI El Malikah passed away in summer 2005, at her lifetime-home and in the familiar fields and next to her friends at Filsinger Arabian Stud, the Home of MALIKAH. Her qualities will be carried on by her sons and grandsons, and grand children, who resemble the wonderful type of this really outstanding mare and the key cross of Maymoon with Malikah daughters. Some of MARANI's grand children, i.e. MAJEED El Mogador, MALAKI el Mogador, and MAHANYAH Bint Maha, are combining the two full sisters, MARANI El Malikah and MUNIFAH Bint Malikah (both Maymoon x Malikah), coming once from sire's, once from dam's side.
