About an asil Saudi Arabian stallion in a European kindgom

“Pure Man” told me about Jafil (El Basheer x Hadha), an asil Arabian stallion from Saudi Arabia, of the ‘Ubayyan al-Suyayfi strain (that’s how it’s pronounced by the way) that was gifted to a European Royalty.  He doesn’t know the name of the King, but thinks it’s either the Netherlands or Belgium or Luxemburg.

If someone from any of these countries happens to read this entry (Patrick?), it would be great if they could look him up. I would also try looking in Denmark and the othern nordic kingdoms. It would be great news if Jafil, who was bred by Prince Turki ben Fahd ben Mohammad, would be made available at public stud.

If anyone knows about Jafil, please feel free to let us know.

  1. I will check it out with the studbook’s secretary. I know there are a few Arabians in the stables of the king & his family. Would be interesting to find out more about them if they’re still around. They’re most probably kept on some military estate because I don’t think any of Belgian royal family have ever been seriously on horse back

  2. I swear Front God that stallion (Jafil)Pure Arabian stallion and asil and strong strain and from horses of Paddy bin Debian Was The best horse he has in nejd

  3. There are no horses owned by Belgian royalty registered with the Belgian studbook but I know I have read once that they had a few Arabian horses – probably those that were gifted. But none of the royal family are riders as far as I know there are no horses kept in the royal stables of the king’s palace in Laeken. But it is a huge estate with multiple smaller castles and facility buildings so no way of telling they don’t keep horses elsewhere on the estate. Plus they have of course other estates outside Brussels.

    Maybe I should write the King? If you would know the year the stallion was gifted and by which Saudi official if not by the breeder, I could check with the palace archives for recorded gifts? That would of course work faster?

  4. May be in Spain With King

    I think or Iam Sure

    Is there a member from Spain to looking in horses Registration Book

  5. When I spoke with Gisela Berghman (the old lady breeding Tunesian asils near Algerian border) about pure man’s info on Saudi asils, she apparently had heard about this stallion. He was gifted to British royalty (the Queen) and for some reason it was not possible to have him registered in the UK – he was later gifted again and registered in the USA
