Curundu Samiyah is very a tall, smooth moving bay mare, who is extremely gentle and kind. She is sired by Curundu Java, by Midnight Bahim out of Greystone Fasadd, an Asadd daughter out of an imported mare. Both Asadd and his sire Sultan were National champions. Midnight Bahim is by Bahim Hisan, Ibn Morafic son (see reference stallions), out of a daughter of Maalik. Samiyah is almost certain to produce black, as has her mother, being linebred on Bahim Hisan.

Anheuser Busch Corporation chose her great grand sire Bahim over 100 other black stallions to represent their TV and poster campaign “The Busch Black Stallion.” Bahim's sire, Ibn Morafic, was a National Futurity Champion, sold by Gleannloch Farms for $165,000 at age 22 during their dispersal auction. Ibn Morafic (US National Futurity Champion stallion, US Top Ten English Pleasure, Canadian Top Ten stallion) was by the incomparable imported Morafic by Nazeer and Mabrouka, and out of the imported Anter daughter Kahramana.  Bahim's tail female line traces to Radia, “The loveliest of all Egypt”, through the imported Hayam.

AK Alli-Shar was bred by Bentwood Farms and was by Moniet El Sharaf out of the Morafic son Ibn Moniet El Nefous (US National Top Ten stallion 1971) and Bint Bint Moniet (a U.S. National Top Ten halter mare and producer of multiple national champions), bred by Richard Pritzloff out of the two Nazeer offspring he imported from Egypt, Rashad Ibn Nazeer and Bint Moniet El Nefous.   Ak Alli-Shar's dam was by Ansata Abbas Pasha.  Abbas Pasha was by the imported Ansata Ibn Halima out of Ansata Bint Mabrouka and was a Regional International Champion stallion.

Samiyah has proven to be a formidable endurance horse and is now in training in dressage, and being ridden regularly in the ring and on trails.
