Over the Rainbow Bridge – Ali Khan

He conquered his audience by storm when he trotted into the arena – Ali Khan had this “Russian Trot”, even without a single drop of Russian blood in his veins.

Born in 1994 in England, his sire Al Hakkim was Straight Egyptian, his dam was English with a Polish damline. He conquered the show rings at the European Championships, at Paris (twice Top Ten) and Aachen. He was British National Champion and champion in France and Switzerland, too. In 2012, he changed hands for the last time to find a quieter life in Denmark at Kida Arabians of Mai-Britt and Sten Schroll.
A very special gentleman in the barn, he was still acting like a three-year-old when at the lead line. However, all of a sudden he suffered from some cases of epilepsy and lost weight, so the hard decision had to be taken to put him down. On Greener Pasture he now shows off as the “trotting machine” he was.
