Roufah is a straight Egyptian mare Emily and “no” I never did get to see her but I think she was thought of as being one of the breed’s best mares for that time.

Roufah, a bay mare owned by the late Jarrell McCracken carried 100% Babson blood and was a shining star for the Babson horses, both in the showring and in the breeding shed. Her wins with David Gardner ranged from Top Ten's in Mare Halter to Top Ten's in Pleasure Driving. However, arguably her greatest achievement was her son Na Ibn Moniet by Ibn Moniet El Nafous. He was Grand Champion Stallion at the Scottsdale Show at a time when straight Egyptian horses weren't allowed to win the big prizes such as that and his name is in the pedigree of many top S/E's of today. Roufah brought respect and glamour to Babson breeding and helped breeders realize that it could stand all on it's own. Written by Jeff Wallace

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing this. This is the kind of history I've really grown to admire with Pedegru. This is going to be useful to everyone for so many years to come. I've studied the Babson line some...quite significant and old. It's quite fabulous to leaf through history and see the progression lines have made as they've aged. So much work goes into these programs. They're really being commemorated - really wonderful.

I have a son of his. I have searched all over the internet trying to find a picture - where did you get this one? I had contacted Haras de Cardenas and Raymond Mazzei (previous owners) in hopes of getting more information and pictures from them, but they did not respond. Do you have any more pictures of him?

Wow...this makes my heart sing. This is exactly what we knew Pedegru would accomplish and why we built it. So great and it's this information that will help people for generations. Pretty neat. Please invite everyone you can to join because you just never know where some new and incredible info will come from.

Thank you for building it, I have looked and looked for more information on him. Every once in a while I would put his name into a search engine and I'm so glad I found this site! I'm looking forward to adding all my "kids" when I get some more time!

That is a great idea! I would still like them emailed to me too, if it's not too much of a hassle. I have been working on a project for my "horse wall."

Hi Teresa, Your boy is very handsome!! My little Mei Li is a daughter of Oso Star Maker. I was so exited to find out about her half brother. What a cool site this is!!

So excited that you like the site Virpi. And thank you for sharing with everyone...we're are going to do great things together and have great fun at the same time. It's awesome people like you who make, and will always make, Pedegru spectacular.

Not to mention the stunning images. What a backdrop! Beautifully done. Star maker catches your breath. Let us know how we can help you Virpi.

The sweet part is the best isn't it? They pop that nose over, take an affectionate breath, and wait for the rub, scratch, pat and peck (oops, guess I'm giving my routine away) - hard to explain to someone you just have to experience it to know, right...

I think it had something to do with them being added to the American Kennel Club. but I'm not positive. They are also called Blue Heelers or Red Heelers.
January 29, 2014 @ 8:34 PM
I think that's right actually. No matter the reason Queensland Healer is a really nice name. The Blue and Red make sense too (color, right?) but the other sounds exotic to me - silly huh?

Hi! Since your Member page is now like a website thought you might have fun loading it up with information. Animal Profiles are just as rich now too and have neat tools/features like Showcase, Pedigrees, unlimited room for images and lots of room for text. The pedigrees are the best and as members have been building the database rankings on Google have taken off because everything on Pedegru is so searchable - including the pedigrees. This is a video on YouTube that shows you a lot more. #4 is the best place to start. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL788FF4135BBAA7D3&;;;;;;;;feature=plcp . Enjoy the site and glad you're here! Rob

I don't seem to be having much luck with translating well for you. I guess you've found the translation at the top with Google? Thanks for figuring that out and telling me about what you're doing. Have you tried to cross them with another breed. I understand it's done but don't know the benefits. Not that I think the Boers can be improved upon but I've read some like to make adjustments to the core qualities. Do you know why?
April 20, 2013 @ 10:34 AM
Do you find that mixing breeds offers any good added qualities. I've read about mixing the Boer with other kinds but don't see the benefit. I think they're ideal as they are. You?
