NFC LA Egyptian King Rapsody
In the pasture at age 16
King Rapsody is a son of the famed 1986 National Grand Champion
Senior Stallion,
Egyptian King.
His dam,
Soat's Lil
Rapsady,
was the only outside mare ever to be bred to King while he was at NFC.
King Rapsody was the result of that breeding and a partnership between
NFC and Little America. We purchased Lil Rapsady after touring Joel
Bridges' Komoko Ranch, with my friend, Vern Brewer, saying that she was
one of the best miniature mares that he had ever seen. When the
owner of Egyptian King, Bob Erwin, saw her, he said that he wanted to buy
her, but I refused to sell. After much discussion, and a rejection
of several offers (he had just paid $40,000 for another mare, and would
have done the same for her), we agreed to breed her to King and share the
results. King Rapsody was one of the resulting foals and we were
thrilled to be able to keep him for our breeding operation.
King Rapsody has twice been high point senior stallion 30-32" for the
SWMHC and was the Reserve National Champion Amateur Senior Stallion in
1994. Now retired from the showring, King is putting wonderful foals on
the ground that are extremely popular with our customers.
His foals are
proving to be as outstanding as he is, with Regional Championships, AMHA
Top Tens, and AMHA Honor Roll Champions. Pictured below are a
couple of them.
