Remaining Al Shaab Stud Horses Stolen

Following a raid that resulted in six stallions and six in-foal mares stolen by armed militia on Saturday, the remaining 30 horses were stolen from Libya's Al Shaab Stud early this week, Racing Post reported. Among the first batch of horses was the stallion Eavesdropper (Kingmambo), a half-brother to Horse of the Year, Classic winner and outstanding sire A.P. Indy (Seattle Slew).

“Now armed militias from Tarhuna have returned to steal the remaining 30 horses,” Al Shaab's General Manager and resident veterinarian Dr. Amad Eshaab tweeted. “I expect the worst. I stand in front of a stable silenced, my world is sad, the world is shameful. Militias want to set fire to the stud. They have already burned my heart and soul.”

The stud, the largest Thoroughbred breeding operation in its war-torn country, is located near Tripoli. Currently, the whereabouts of the horses are unknown.
