She is sired by *Sanadik El Shaklan and out of *Samanna.

SANADIK (*El Shaklan x *Mohena) was bred and born in Germany and was World Champion Yearling Colt at his first show. Today Sanadik is one of the world's leading sires of national, international and world champions. Over the past couple of years Sanadik sired the National Junior Champion Mare of Poland (a huge honor), the National Champion Mare of France, the National Champion Mare of Chile, the National Junior Champion Colt and Filly of Australia (a huge feat), National World Champion Two-Year-Old Colt, World Champion Most Classic, National Champion Three-Year-Old Mare of Sweden, many Cal-Bred Champions, and a Sanadik daughter was the dam of the recent Scottsdale Champion Stallion (the largest Arabian horse show in the world).

Bint Samanna's dam is *Samanna ("Bint" means daughter-of in Arabic). Bint Samanna was named in honor of her illustrious dam.

*SAMANNA (Gharib x Scharaya) was born at the Marbach State Stud in Germany. Her sire Gharib was a tall, athletic black stallion purchased to give some 'stretch', length of leg and athletic ability to the predominantly small and typey German program. Few of the Marbach-bred Gharib daughters were ever available to the public except to a few elite, well-connected customers. In Germany *SAMANNA was bred to Sanadik's sire, *EL SHAKLAN, to produce *SHAREM EL SHEIKH. 'SHEIKH' was imported to the U.S. and was always supreme champion in shows. He won unanimous Scottsdale Champion Stallion and unanimous Buckeye Champion Stallion - two of the most prestigious shows in this country. Then SHEIKH proved himself as a sire by siring many champions. One son, ETERNETY' won the coveted title of U.S. National Champion Stallion. *SAMANNA was bred to SANADIK and produced the stallion OM EL SHAREIKH, BINT SAMANNA'S full brother.

*SAMANNA is 27 years old and no longer able to produce.

"BINT SAMANNA" is *SAMANNA's last foal and will be the last daughter of *SAMANNA ever offered for sale.
"BINT SAMANNA" was bred to DREAMCATCHER twice and produced the stallion KATTAR and colt HENTZL-MAC.
She was bred to JAKE JAMAAL JCA and will foal this spring 2004.
