Emir Ibn Farazdac, better known as "Himself," is the heart of Blue Pyramid Egyptians. He was discovered as a 2-year-old by Claire Estelle Phifer and was the head of her "Fab Four," a quartet that also included San Aakefaa, San Baazinah, and her daughter San Emira Farazdac.  Himself possesses an intellect beyond any horse I have previously known and, having had a number of Arabians, that is saying a lot. Along with that bright mind, is a well developed sense of humor and my days are made good just by watching him play.

Himself knows when I am feeling good and will charge across the pasture bouncing to a stop just in front of me or if I'm feeling depressed, he walks calmly by my side. When my old bones are aching he takes extra care not to jostle or rush me but he is as protective as a watch dog when strangers come into the pasture to admire him. His naturally gentle nature precludes any threatening behavior but he calmly puts himself between me and anyone he doesn't know.

Oh yes. He is pretty to look at, but his true physical beauty is in his proud trot and powerful canter. After all the time he has been here, he still takes my breath away and my favorite chair still looks out on his pasture.

Emir Ibn Farazdac (*Farazdac x MFA Sabria) 01/31/88.  Himself is everything you hear about Egyptian stallions and the Arab "tent horse;"  a fine old gentleman who fortunately passes on his gentle nature and many other qualities.  I have seen several of his babies, all out of different mares, and regardless of the dam, he is evident in all of his children (see the Foals page).

JF Amir Ibn Kameerah

It is time for Amir to move from the Foals page to the Stallions page. He will be three in 2010, not yet ready to take on his paternal role, but too old to hang with the youngsters. This is where he will soon make a contribution to the Nafa'a Conservation effort. Amir is double Serenity Kamila to Nafa'a. He is the son of Last Chance Too, daughter of JF Kameerah, both tracing to Nafa'a through Le Kameesha Amira.

Amir's destiny is to breed Nafa'a mares but I will probably open his book once he has been proven as an athlete and sire because his "sport-horse" build makes him a good cross for someone wanting a foal with great athletic potential.
