  1. Dear Edouard, are you able to identify any of these lovely horses by name or strain? This is such an important historical record. Thank you.

  2. ok, this is Hallah, a Kuhaylah Khallawiyah from the Tai. Sire “Nawwag Ayadah al-Madi”, by Krush Juhayyim out of a K. Nawwagiyah Bint Abu Ketf of Ali al-Dawish al-Jarba. Dam: a K. Khallawiyah of the marbat of al-Salem, Tai (but back to Anazah).

    That was the best mare in Syria.

  3. Correction: the Dam of this Hallah mare, which was by a Hamdani Simri was not from the K. Khallawi marbat of Hammud and Juzif al-Salim.

    Rather, she was owned by Mohammad son of Farhan son of Muhammad al-‘Abd al-Rahman of the family of the Shaykhs of Tai, who had gotten her from one man of the Jarbah Shammar (I forget his name) who in turn had gotten the line from the Shammar clan of the Ja’alifah (spelling?) in Iraq, to which that branch of the strain belongs. The Jarbah man was riding a Kuhaylah ‘Armushah mare who was killed in war and he was wounded, and the Ja’alifah clan rescued him and healed him, and gave him the Khallawiyah instead of his lost ‘Armushah. Radwan Shabareq told me the story.
