Nailah's Story

Nailah, which means “successful or one who succeeds, lucky”, is a beautiful mare that came to All About Equine from a former Arabian breeding ranch, Coffey's Arabians, after the last family member passed away.  Nailah was living with three other mares on a large, lush green pasture, and a stallion that was located in another area on the property.  No documentation was found for the horses, but it appears these are the last of the Coffey Arabians.  

Upon visiting the ranch, two of the horses were friendly and social, while Nailah and another mare were feral.  It appeared she had not been handled, but it was quickly apparent she was familiar with humans and a halter.  She spent several weeks at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center (MRILC) where she regained her confidence with humans while she participated as a project horse during MRILC courses.  She was socialized, learned basic groundwork,  and long-lining, and she was started under saddle (light work, no rider).  Nailah is becoming a very sweet, social mare, and she enjoys grooming and attention.  The ideal situation for Nailah would be a companion home with Layla and Aziza, her lifelong pasture mates.

Janis Jones, the former Mrs. Michael Coffey, assisted All About Equine in this rescue and ended up adopting the black stallion (now a gelding) from this same group. Per Dr. Jones, "The Coffeys were known as one of the finest breeders of Egyptian Arabians in the United States, and these mares are most probably of the Shiko Ibn Sheikh line (Shiko photo), a line known for beauty and performance. Originally, Richard Pritzlaff of Rancho San Ignacio in New Mexico imported and bred these straight Egyptian horses and Dale and Ella Coffey and son, Michael, bought the Pritzlaff stallion Shiko Ibn Sheikh and had great success breeding this line in California. You can see many of the hundreds of Shiko get listed on the Arabian Horse Association website. While the registration papers for these horses have not been found, it is most likely that these are all purebred Egyptian Arabian horses of the Shiko Ibn Sheikh line, and Dr. Jones is continuing her research into the pedigrees. That said, there is no question that the Coffey horses were wonderful family and performance horses, and Janis is delighted with her rescue horse whom she has named Zorro." As she says, there is no finer Arabian than a Shiko horse, and she urges you to meet the mares to see why. -- Nailah is up to date on vaccinations, deworming, and dental and hoof care; however, handling/trimming her hooves is a work in progress.
