Al Marhaba Stud was founded in 2000, by Sandra Lucia Menzel, in Germany.
"Over 20 years ago, when I was looking at Arabian horses, I soon realized that
each and every horse that I liked was tracing back to the mare Estopa --
there was a special look about those horses and I was really drawn to the bloodline.
I then went to "the source", Om El Arab International in California and purchased
my three foundation mares. I add the name "Estopa" to those horses whose tail
female line directly traces to this legendary mare, to honor their heritage."
