Bred by Om El Arab

Om El Benicio is the epitome and very essence of classic Arabian type. He is structurally correct, perfectly proportioned and stunningly beautiful. His fine, exquisite face is delicately sculpted and set with large, dark, expressive eyes. He combines strength and gentleness with fiery charisma and a temperament that’s second to none being the gentlest, kindest, sweetest most intelligent soul imaginable. Benicio moves with majestic, resplendent grace. He is perfectly balanced, with smooth gaits at all paces and exudes an air of elegant nobility.

Descending from Arabian horse royalty, Om El Benicio’s world class pedigree is jammed packed full of World Champions, World Champion producers, National Champions, International Champions and National and International Champion producers. His mother, Om El Benecia is a full sibling to Om El Arab head sire, Om El Bellissimo (who is a Multi Champion sire including National Champions in Poland), and Multi National Champion Om El Bernadette, Multi Champion Om El Beshaan, maternal sister to Multi International Champion Om El Bahreyn, Champion and Champion producer Om El Beladeena and Endurance Champion and Tevis finisher Om El Bernini Dream. Om El Benecia herself is sired by US National Champion AOTH and sire of champions Om El Shahmaan. Om El Benicio is sired by the Champion Maker and super sire himself, WH Justice, who needs no introduction. Om El Benicio’s star studded pedigree reads like a ‘who’s who’ of Arabian horse high society.

Om El Benicio is one of the most exceptional Arabians, and most beautiful souls, I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. He’s everything I look for in an Arabian. I swore that I’d never, ever, have a stallion, until I spent some time in the company of this magnificent, majestic and charming boy. Om El Benicio completely and utterly stole my heart and is without doubt, the horse of my dreams.

On April 9th 2020 we were ecstatic to announce that we welcomed Benicio’s first foal born on the farm. A stunning filly out of Gloria Apal who was beautiful beyond our expectations. Named Antheia Zillahri, this ethereal beauty, stunning from day 1,  confirmed our faith in Benicio as a superior breeding stallion. In 2023 Zillahri was shown at her first, and only show, The Arabian Breeders World Cup. She followed in her fathers footsteps by being crowned SILVER SUPREME CHAMPION Jr. MARE OF SHOW.

The cross of Om El Benicio and Gloria Apal has been everything and more that we wished for and has been repeated several times and we now have a hattrick of spectacular fillies, Antheia Zillahria born 202o, Antheia Elisyana born 2022 and Antheia Bint Gloria born in 2023.

Om El Benicio has been broken to ride and is exceeding all our expectations under saddle. His natural balance, perfect cadence, sound trainable mind and intelligence make him an absolute dream to work with. He LOVES to work and is also now ridden bridle less as part of his education under saddle. We couldn’t be more thrilled with this incredible stallion who willingly gives 110% of himself and aces everything we ask him to do.

Beautiful. Complete. Correct. Perfect to breed type and an absolute dream to work with in whatever discipline he’s been asked to participate in, Om El Benicio is the epitome of a VERSATILE Arabian stallion.

In February 2025, Om El Benicio competed in the Global Champions Arabians Tour, having been pulled out of his pasture a few weeks prior and having not been in the show ring for several years. We were overjoyed when he was named Bronze Senior Champion Stallion in a fantastic group of stallions.
