Almé Z
Almé Z (16 April 1966 – 21 March 1991) was a 16.1 hh (165 cm) sport horse stallion who was a prolific sire of show jumping horses. His sire was by the Selle Français, Ibrahim, a stallion whose influence is still incredibly strong today. His dam, Girondine, produced three full brothers to Almé, which were all licensed stallions or successful jumpers. The young stallion was ridden by Bernard Geneste as a five-year-old, before he was purchased and competed by American Fred Lorimer Graham for two years. He was then taken as a mount by François Mathy and Johan Heins, with whom he competed internationally. He won many Grand Prix events, including the Grand Prix of the Netherlands.

Almah or Almeh ( arz, عالمة ' , plural ' , from Arabic: ' "to know, be learned") was the name of a class of courtesans or female entertainers in Egypt, women educated to sing and recite classical poetry and to discourse wittily, connected to the ''qayna'' slave singers. They were educated girls of good social standing, trained in dancing, singing and poetry, present at festivals and entertainments, and hired as mourners at funerals. The Awalim were first introduced as singers, not dancers-cum-prostitutes, according to Edward William Lane's book, ''Manner and Costumes of modern Egyptians''. Lane additionally wrote that the Almah didn't display herself at all, but sang from behind a screen or from another room at weddings and other respectable festivities. Consequently, the Awalem were not subject to exile in Upper Egypt. In the 19th century, ''almeh'' came to be used as a synonym to all the erotic local dancers who usually came from very poor backgrounds and sometimes con ...
