Miriam Abdalaal,
new owner of WIW Royal Windsong January 26, 2007.
Early October 2005. Windsong
is now 2 years and 5 months. She is starting under saddle and
calm and unflappable! She is still growing.
Windsong enjoys
the wind in her mane-June 15, 2004
Essam Abdalaal grew up in Egypt and spent
time with the horses raised by his late grandfather. Mr. Abdalaal, who
operates The City Place in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, thought often about
his nieces and nephews who get to ride horses in Egypt. He thought it
would be great if his own young children could be skillful riding horses,
especially one of their own.
On January 31, 2007, Mr. Abdalaal bought Purebred Arabian filly WIW
Royal Windsong with that dream in mind. Mr. Abdalaal and his family
spend many evenings a week visiting Windsong at her new home in Grafton.
Windsong follows her new owners around and loves to be affectionate
with them. We have been saying for years that purebred Arabian horses
who learn to trust their owners will do wonderful things out of love
for their humans.
The picture shows Miriam Abdalaal, who has been blessed to be learning
much about horses and riding. She loves to read about horses. On the
day that Windsong was delivered, Mr. Abdalaal took Miriam out of school
early to meet Windsong. The little girl threw her arms around her new
filly and remarked to people around her, "It's cold outside, but I am
warm in my heart."
Best of love and good wishes to Mr. Abdalaal and to his family. We hope
that the new relationship with WIW Royal Windsong will last forever!
If you continue reading, you will discover
the love affair we have had with WIW Royal Windsong, even now that she
belongs to a new family who has allowed us to continue to visit her...
As the song goes, "I can't seem to forget you... Windsong stays on my
mind." Surely, because Windsong will always be unforgettable to us,
we have been honored to bring her story to you via our website.
The pictures of-WIW Royal Windsong, the
best of both Royal Pride Rythm and
Cameo Windchime, show her at 15 months old and 13.3 hands at
the 2004 Great Geauga County Fair (September 6), where she bested seasoned
horses.
Windsong is 49.44 Crabbet/Blunt.
Click for pedigree. She has Windchime's
beautiful jibbah, eyes, and ears, but she has Royal's longer legs and
his wonderful rear quarters, so she is everything we had expected
to accomplish with this cross.
Better yet, she is Windchime's first
and only filly, and is she ever sweet, very approachable, and easy-going.
Although she was eight days late, she was born before the sun went down,
and Windchime had an easy delivery.
As Windsong "unfurls," we will have new
pictures to share.
In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the
accompanying music, courtesy of Robert Conrad, President of Cleveland,
Ohio's WCLV Radio Stationand longtime host of a program called Saturday Night on WCLV.
That program, the height of our week, was always the backdrop for our
special projects--building a piece of furniture, making wine from dandelions
and plums (and anything else that dared to grow in our garden), and
even building our own beloved harpsichord when our children were finally
safely at sleep. The sign-off music for this program was called
"Fugacity." If you do an Internet Search, you will see the word connected
with metaphysics, as well as the Cold Fusion theory. The words
to this ethereal classic are as follows:
Today
is the first day of the rest of my life. I awake as a child to see the world begin On monarch wings and birthday wanderings. I want to put on faces, walk in the wet and the cold And look forward to my growing old...
To grow old is
to change, and to change is to be new. To be new is to be young again...I barely
remember, when My memory is stolen by the morning, Blotted out by the sun's hypnotic eye, Out by the sun's hypnotic eye.
Today is the
first day of the rest of my life. I awake as a child to see the world begin On monarch wings and birthday wanderings. I want to put on faces, walk in the wet and
the cold And look forward to my growing old.
----Mr. and Mrs.
Garvey from a 1960s recording that has been out
of print since 1979
Many thanks, Bob Conrad, for being a
part of our lives for so long and for graciously providing this
music so we can memorialize a special young lady. Finally, we extend
our sincere thanks and our blessings to all of those members of
humanity who look forward to the renewal and growth that each
new day brings.

Hi mom
At 7 weeks

even her mother can keep up.
