That has all sorts of social threads that can be unpleasant! I hope we are past the idea of a flaw meaning impurity. That has all sorts of social threads that can be unpleasant!

Cadranell Mon, 29 Dec 2008 18:42:46 +0000 http://daughterofthewind.org/?p=1325#comment-3846 What some on this thread seem to be implying is that pure stock has no flaws, and the appearance of a flaw in a foal is evidence of impurity in one or both parents. That sounds to me more like 19th century German nature philosophy than it sounds like anything from the Middle East. Hmm, has anyone here been reading Raswan?

Anyway - in more general terms, did the Bedu ever demote a horse from Asil status for any reason at all? If so could you state some of those reasons and/or circumstances?

With regard to the Beduin thought on Asil - what do think their reaction might have been in the case of a SCID foal, or Lavender, or CA? Do you think they would have seen this as a curse and possibly questioned either the sire and/or the dam in terms of their being Asil, or not? Or was the term Asil strictly related to the rasan, etc? Thanks, Ray Eduard,

It is key to explaining what has been at the core of recent discussions here. And the most important point that I believe is, to quote your final comment: "...to keep our emphasis on horses from Arabia and the breeding context which produced them."
