El Shaklan (born August 10, 1975 , † January 8, 2001 ) is considered the world's most influential show Arabian stallion bred in Germany to date. El Shaklan was a typey gray with a height of 1.60 m, so he was relatively tall for a thoroughbred Arab.
ancestry

His dam Estopa was the Spanish-bred ancestor of the Om el Arab stud. The Om el Arab stud moved from the Black Forest to California in the 1980s because there were more mares available for El Shaklan.
His father Shaker el Masri was from Morafic from, one on the state stud El Zahraa near Cairo in Egypt drawn Nazeer -son. El Shaklan was thus 50% Egyptian. The crossing of the Egyptian and Spanish Arabian lines was so successful that the term golden cross was coined.
