Judith Forbis in Authentic Arabian Bloodstock, 1990:
"For twenty-three years *Ansata Ibn Halima was an inspiration; a testimony to what is good about this world we live in. He was larger than life secure in his element, a joy to many both near and far. His name, which means son of the gentle and kind could not have been more aptly chosen, for he reflected kindness and nobility in everything he did. As Mr. Roy Jackson, one of the breed's elder statesmen, once said, 'God was good to you when he gave you that horse.' The prepotency of *Ansata Ibn Halima blood has literally created a 'breed within the breed' of Arabian horses. The dominance of 'that Halima look' and the delightful disposition inherited by his get, grandget and further generations, has made his blood highly sought after in the international Arabian horse world. A look at the triumphs of his progeny worldwide reveals an incredible record. He is one of only seven stallions to ever sire a U.S. National Champion Stallion and U.S. National Champion Mare. He sired more than 40 champions including U.S. National Champions, Australian Champions, South American Champions and Salon Du Cheval World Champions in Paris. 'That Halima Look' has become world famous because it carries on from generation to generation – even to the 6th generation now at Ansata."
'Foaled in the shadow of the great pyramids of Egypt, like these eternal monuments
*Ansata Ibn Halima has become a symbol of excellence by which all others are measured.'"
