The 1993 born PSYCHES AMBER GEM started her great career in Europe when she came over from her place of origin and birth, the United States of America. Purchased and owned by the Calvet family of Shamilah Arabians, France, they showedher in 1995, when the two-year-old chestnut achieved straight away the titles as Nations Cup Reserve Champion Filly in Aachen, and World Champion Filly in Paris. After a rest of two years, the Calvets, very much focussed on shows, took her back to the showring as 4-year-old senior mare in 1997, and again, she made her input there, repeating the same titles at the two major shows she did win before, this time as senior. One year later, and after being 1998 Champion Mare in Menton, the tragic situation of the Calvet family caused the dispersal sale of all the horses of Shamilah Arabians. This way, PSYCHES AMBER GEM came to Uzama Alkazemi in Kuwait who acquired her with a bigger group of other horses from Shamilah Stud. In his most exquisite, lovely place of Ezzain Stud, located about an one hour drive outside Kuwait city, PSYCHES AMBER GEM found a wonderful new home. Her new owner never focussed on shows, so the mare made her life as broodmare, and living a life outside the shows. After some time, Uzama Alkazemi decided he favoured the straight Egyptians, and decided to get rid off all his other bloodlines. While PSYCHES AMBER GEM has a straight Egyptian mother and damline, on father's side she is a daughter of the famous PADRONS PSYCHE who carries Russian, Polish, Egyptian and Crabbet blood.
HH Sheikh Ammar Bin Humaid Al Nuaimi from Ajman, United Arab Emirates, heard about this, and called to Uzama Alkazemi to find out about his chestnut, former show mare. The result, a few weeks later, in early 2005, PSYCHES AMBER GEM had a new owner and a new home with Ajman Stud. She was 12 years then, still in great shape and quality, so there was no doubt for Sheikh Ammar - this mare would win in the big show ring again. Straight away he sent her to the major shows in the Middle East and PSYCHES AMBER GEM won in a straight row of three Champion Mare titles at the major International Show of the Middle East in 2005 - Dubai, Sharjah and Qatar. Sent to Europe then after, she continued with the Champion Mare title at the International 'A' show in Menton, and finalized as 2005 All Nations Cup Champion Mare in Aachen. There we saw a very happy and proud Sheikh Ammar receiving his trophy in Aachen and took with AMBER GEM's help and his other horses, the 'Nations Cup Trophy' for a very first time to the United Arab Emirates!
PSYCHES AMBER GEM has already produced some foals, several of them chestnuts like her. In Europe, for example her daughter SHAMILAH AMBRA (by Warandes Plakat) was 1998 Menton Champion Filly as yearling at the same show when her mother took the Champion Mare title. In Kuwait, PADRONS AMBER GEM gave birth to the 2000 filly named MABROUKA Ezzain (by straight Egyptian, Ansata AL MURTAJIZ), and we might hear more about her and from Ajman Stud in the United Arab Emirates in the future. |
