Maar Ree - By Hampton
 Maar-Ree was born, a coal black filly by
FaSabb out of the beautiful Maarou, on April 12, 1957 and remained with
her breeder, Nellie Jackson for four years. When Dr. Leon and Roberta
Weaver visited the Jackson farm in 1960, looking for foundation stock.
They had been searching for their foundation stock for over two years when
they were given a complete tour of the Jackson farm. Bobbe Weaver walked
through the trees of a beautiful orchard, and there found the young
Maar-Ree. She knew from the moment she saw the black filly, that this was
the mare who would be the cornerstone of their Straight Egyptian breeding
program...
In her words, "Maar-Ree was an elegant mare that sent shivers up
my spine the first time I saw her. That was a sensation she invoked in me
all the years she shared my life." It took well over a year of
negotiations to convince the Jackson's that were worthy of their splendid
young mare but they did acquire Maar-Ree and formed a life-long friendship
with the Jacksons.
Maar Ree remained with the Weavers for eleven years, when ill health
forced the Weavers to disperse their horses. For the eleven years Maar-Ree
lived with them, she was Bobbe Weaver's personal saddle horse. They won
many ribbons together in English, Jumping and Western Pleasure and was
never out of the ribbons. She also produced six foals for the Weavers. The
first of Maar-Ree's fourteen foals for the was a bay filly by Disaan,
named Maar Jumana. She was born in 1962, and produced two colts and six
fillies including RDM Maar Hala and MFA Monien. Maar-Ree's second foal,
Maar Raj was a multi-champion by Sur-Ghari.
Maar Khaliq
Her next colt, Maar Jon was by Disaan. The next
was a dark bay colt by *Ibn Moniet El Nefous named Maar Khaliq who
eventually became the senior herd sire for Mubazir Arabians in Valley
Center, California who bred many incredibly beautiful and athletic
Straight Egyptian horses.
A second colt by *Ibn Moniet El Nefous, Maar
Jalal, followed by the beautiful grey mare, Maar Juhara, also by *Ibn
Moniet El Nefous and the last foal bred by the Weavers.
 Bob and Jeanne Middleton, of Renton, Washington, purchased Maar-Ree's
oldest daughter, Maar Jumana. Jumana was open when she arrived at the
Middleton's farm and they bred her El Hilal, producing RDM Maar Hala.
When
Mr. Weaver's worsening heart condition necessitated a move and change of
lifestyle for the Weavers, the Middletons were able to acquire Maar-Ree
and her filly Maar Juhara , after a visit from Bobbe that convinced her
that they would provide a good home for her beloved friend.

The Middleton's also bred Maar-Ree to El Hilal to produce
RDM Maar Halima in 1974, then to TheEgyptianPrince to produce RDM Dhakkhar
in 1975, them again for her fourth Champion colt, Sarmaan in 1976, who her
put her on the Aristocrat Mare list. The next year, again bred to
TheEgyptianPrince, Maar-Ree produced the beautiful MFA Maariia Isis in
1977 at the age of twenty. In 1980 Maar-Ree gave birth to a colt by
TheEgyptianPrince named MFA Bahar. Her last foal, MFA Bint Maarree by El
Hilal was born in 1981.
The impact of Maar-Ree through her sons and daughters has
been tremendous. Her line breeds strong and true and possesses tremendous
beauty, athletic ability and loving, intelligent minds that makes her
grandsons and granddaughters sought after and treasured as family friends,
riding horses, show horses and breeding stock... Hampton

SOFI Footnote:
Maar Ree was a beautiful Straight Egyptian Babson Mare.
Her production record is outstanding.
Foals out of Maar Ree have been great producers.
Her line will be long remembered for the
exquisite type of many of her grand kids.
She had three daughters that were Sheykh Obeyd as well as Straight Egyptian,
Maar Jahara, Maar Halima and Bint Maar Ree. Maar Jahara produced RDM Maar Hala,
who in turn had three Sheykh Obeyd sons but sadly no replacement daughters.
Maar Halima was not bred to a SO stallion, so her line is lost to our efforts.
Only the last born foal of Maar Ree, her name-sake, Bint Maar Ree was bred
to Sheykh Obeyd Stallions for replacements.
The Sheykh Obeyd mares are a wonderful source of old pre-Inshass blood.
They bring elements to the pedigrees of the new straight Egyptian horses not found
in the Inshass horses.
Without continuing this Sheykh Obeyd old source of blood for re-infusion back into the New Egyptians,
we will lose the valuable type these horses are noted for!
