ASF Gersom

ASF Gersom (Dhahran x Esperanzo Asal Fanifara, by Fanifeh) was a 1974 bay stallion who headed the Arabian Stud Farms (ASF) stallions battery in its later years. He sired 27 registered Arabians, mostly out of mares tracing to *Turfa, *Muhaira, and *Al Hamdaniah. Himself was a Kuhaylan al-‘AJuz tracing to *Turfa. Billy Sheets, who owned ASF with his father, once told me that the stallion who sired all these horses, and who was the senior stallion at ASF, was not ASF Gersom, but rather his full brother ASF Jedeciah, a similarly marked bay, born in 1977.
