Ofir was by Kuhalian-Haifi, a desert-bred stallion who had been imported from the Jauf region of the Arabian peninsula by Prince Roman Sanguszko of the Gumniska Stud.

Later in his life, Ofir was taken to the Tersk Stud at USSR where he sired Mammona, a dam of significance in numerous Russian bloodlines.

He was a very sensitive horse whose good spirits were easily wilted with a slap or yell, although it was easy to re-stimulate him with a voice filled with excitement.

He was shown in Western and English pleasure two years later, winning U.S. National Top Ten awards.

One of his most prominent included Bay El Bey, who was said to have changed the Arabian horse breed in America.
