*Pharrah (Farag by *Morafic x Tamria by *Tuhotmos) Bred by Hungarian State Stud Babolna in 1972 As a five-year-old *Pharrah was sold to the USA and in 1978 she found her home at Imperial Egyptian Stud. There she gave birth to five foals. The first was the best and the most influential: Imperial Phanadah, by *Ibn Moniet El Nefous. A chestnut who was defeated by her dam in a direct beauty contest but who turned out to be a real dam of distinction, especially when she was bred to Imperial’s Pasha – the incomparably typey and ardent Ansata Imperial (Ansata Ibn Sudan x Ansata Delilah by Ansata Shah Zaman) and daughters were born who surpassed each other in expression and beauty. These three mares were considered the "glamour girls". They were Imperial Phanilah, Imperial Im Pharida and Imperial Im Phayanah, the mare in the title. "It was in this time that the mare *Pharrah (Farag x Tamria) appeared as well at one of the big auctions: at the "Eyptian Event Sale" of the year 1983 – then one of the most pompous events. I remember exactly her appearance, for *Pharrah looked so unusually beautiful. She was eleven years old and seemed to have come directly from one of these old paintings by Adam or Vernet. Her long narrow face reminded of her grandsire *Morafic, the long slender supple neck as well. The face was dominated by those big round dark eyes which seemed to reflect her Egyptian ancestors. She was full of nobility, light as a feather, her movements were playfully light. Everything at her was in balance, nothing was too long or too short. A mare whose immaculate appearance made the audience grow dumb. *Pharrah sold for $255,000.00 dollars to Vincent and Diane Fortuna."--taken from an old StraightEgyptians.com article We Salute this Egyptian beauty but also her paternal grandsire as well as *Morafic left his mark of excellence, as did *Ansata Ibn Halima and Aswan, the world over. *Pharrah also carries two lines to Moniet El Nefous through her grandson *Morafic and her rare bay son, *Tuhotmos.
