"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them," William Shakespeare

In the case of Bey Shah, each of these truisms apply. He was born to greatness. He achieved greatness. He had greatness thrust upon him.

His mother was a daughter of *BASK++, the Arabian breed's once and forever king. Like his maternal grandsire, Bey Shah+ achieved stardom in competition, and super-stardom as a sire. What greatness he did not claim for himself, was thrust upon him by a public that, in his time, was starved for a hero.

Longfellow wrote:
"Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time."

Bey Shah+ was one of God's great creatures, a horse that thundered into our lives, changed us . . . and left his indelible hoof prints on the sands of time.  Why incorporate these bloodlines into your program?  Over 39 sons and 44 daughters of BEY SHAH+ have produced National winners and it is still continuing today...and the champions add up into the 3rd and 4th generations.  Blood that breeds true and strong!
