Bint Sahara
"FADJUR was the son of two very special horses, FADHEILAN and BINT SAHARA. BINT SAHARA was sold to McCoy's Arabians in Bell, California, where FADJUR was born on April 12, 1952. BINT SAHARA, a mare of Crabbet/old English breeding, is one of the top broodmares of all time; she is tied with SAKI. She held the top spot in the world (for the number of champions produced) for many years! When the Living Legends of the Arabian breed were selected in 1970, BINT SAHARA and three of her sons were chosen---which is incredible when you consider that only 10 horses were selected out of the entire breed!"
"Fadjurs dam, the illustrious Bint Sahara produced 18 foals in her lifetime, 11 of which became champions. Considering that among all the Arabian mares only eight have produced 10 or more champions, is a remarkable record indeed. She was bred by John C. Silva in California, and sold to Frank B. McCoy, of McCoy Arabians, noteable foundation breeder. Registry records are sketchy for the early years, but apparently Bint Sahara was sold to Harry Linden after producing three foals including the gorgeous Fersara for the McCoys. Evidently as Fersara matured, McCoy recognized the value of the mare he'd sold, and leased her back in foal with her seventh foal and fourth foal by Fadheilan.....thus Fadjur was foaled at the McCoy ranch in 1952."
