Hadidi (Norus x Hebet Allah)
February 22, 1990 - July 24, 2017
 
Everywhere his footsteps fell, a hero's welcome was waiting for him.

The Passing of Ansata Nile Echo Sep 8th 2017

BEAUTY IS ITS OWN EXCUSE FOR BEING - and he was beautiful in many ways. We regret the passing of ANSATA NILE ECHO. It seems like yesterday that he was a yearling at Ansata, and moved on to Qatar to found a dynasty there. He could literally "trot a hole in the wind" and was often referred to as the King of Trot. A magnificent son of his father, Ansata Hejazi, his legacy in Arabian horse histrory is assured.
