| After the win of the 3-year old stallion Nil Ishan Ibn Al Sakbe (Al Sakbe x Incipit) in the Shadwell Cup, a flat race over 1850 meter in Cologne a week ago, the 11-year old gelding Nil Khatan (Kubinec x Nil Nubia) out of the same family as Nil Ishan Ibn Al Sakbe, was placed second in a CEN* endurance race over 86 km in Switzerland on July 19th. He was ridden by his owner Angela Kunz. |
 At
the age of the three, Nil Khatan, a son of the Elite Mare Nil
Nubia, was honored with “The Prize of the Best Pure Bred Arabian Horse
of Switzerland”. In 2006 he passed the Swiss Performance Test in
Endurance and now in 2009 he seems to be ready to fully demonstrate his
performance potential.Two other outstanding progeny out of Nil Khatan’s mother Nil Nubia are Prince du Nil (by Barour de Cardonne), a winner of two flat races and the Elite Mare Nil Nouza (by Gips) with her daughter Nil Khaznah (by Kubinec), herself a proven endurance horse and titled as a “Elite Mare” in Germany. left: Nil Khatan with Angela Kunz Foto: Jan Linder earlybirdphotos.com |
