A few days ago, Michael Bowling sent me the following photos of the 1964 Tunisian stallion Omran (Esmet Ali x Simrieh by Oukrif), from the rare tail female that goes back to the desert-bred mare Mzeirib, imported to Tunisia by the French in 1891. Omran was exported to one of Germany’s zoos, says Michael. The black and white photo was taken while the stallion was still in Tunisia, and the color one in Germany by Dr. Zimmerman of the Koln zoo, who gave both photos and others to Michael.
