A Legacy of Grace and Strength

Nakhda Zanj El Bar is the cornerstone of Blue Gem Farms. Bred by M. Kent Mayfield, and sired by Al Baraki out of Eternal Grace by Thee Desperado+, he is a shining example of classic Arabian nobility, resilience, and power — inside and out.

He represents everything we strive to preserve: soundness, presence, and a soul that connects.

His Journey to Blue Gem Farms

Before arriving at Blue Gem Farms in early 2018, Nakhda was misunderstood.
Labeled as difficult, reactive, or “too much” for an Arabian stallion, his true nature was buried beneath stress and unmet needs. But we never saw a crazy horse — we saw a soul overwhelmed by circumstance and starved for connection.

From the moment he stepped onto our farm, Nakhda began to soften. His so-called wildness faded, revealing a gentle, patient, and deeply intuitive stallion. Today, he lives peacefully in his forever home — not just as our foundation sire, but as a daily reminder of the healing power of love, trust, and sanctuary.
