This is Reem al-Oud, a desert bred Ubayyah Suhayliyah of the horses of Mayzar al-Ajil al-Abdul Karim al-Jarba of Shammar, and the number one on my top ten list of best Asil mares ever bred. A diamond in the rough.
What a magnificent mare, Edouard. I can see why you chose her. If one studies the photos posted on this top ten discussion carefully one can see some points of similarity between mares as to whithers, shoulders, leg proportions and general head-eye relationships.
This blog is maintained by Edouard al-Dahdah, a breeder and lover of Desert Arabian Horses, and otherwise an economist at the World Bank in Washington, DC. It seeks to share a passion, of course, but also to raise awareness about desert Arabian horses, their homeland and their heritage.
