Ara, dam of the Kayfs and grand dam to Zayfire and Berlief

She cost £1000 as an unbroken 3 year old and was a normal riding horse before becoming a champion broodmare.

Ara produced her first foal, by the great Kayf Tara,

Kayf Aramis in 2002 

Kayf Aramis, the legend has raced over 80 times from Royal Ascot to Cheltenham and won over £152,000 in prize money. 

He won the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival in 2009 under Aidan Coleman and in the same year won at the York Dante Festival on the flat under Johnny Murtagh, winning the race for the 3rd time.

Kaylifa is Ara's 2nd foal, also by Kayf Tara, dam of Zayfire & Berlyf Aramis.

Very tragically lost on the gallops.

The last Kayf is Kaylina Aramis.

When she was born the vet said Ara had "saved her best till last"

Kaylifa's first foal is Zayfire Aramis 

He is by Zafeen who won at Royal Ascot.

Berlief Aramis is Kaylifa's second foal.  He is by sprinter Bertolini and is very different to his half brother Zayfire.  The two of them get on really well and spent most of their time in the field play fighting and practising galloping.

Kayf Aramis was born in a cow shed at 9.30am on Saturday 27th April 2002 with the farmer and his family watching over the door.  His dam Ara, a riding horse bought for £1000 took 12 months exactly to produce her first very small foal.

Young Kayfi loved to run and was soon careering around the field with his dam in hot pursuit.

He was weaned with a pony companion and lived in an old orchard with fresh water from a stream.

Kayf Aramis won at the Dante Festival at York and at the Cheltenham Festival
