This photo should be used more often, a famed war mare of the desert.
I really like having you, Edouard, showing these great old photo’s! Glad you are so taken with Wadduda, and your new mare.
Pamela’s mare has truly a lovely head. A totally different head to the Tripoli heads of Michael Bowling. Her, Pamela’s stallion Monologue has a similar head, also a non Tripoli.
I was re-reading the little book on *Wadduda by Jean Ivey at the AK booth at the Egyptian Event. It was a slow time, I was alone in the heat. A young woman in ME dress approached rather shyly with two young boys at her side. I offered them a cookie which the lads accepted. Then the young woman said, “My son (pointing to the 6 year old) is a grandson of the sheikh who gifted that mare to Homer Davenport!” Could I have been more astonished or more honored? I immediately gifted them a copy of “The Annotated Quest” by Charles Craver. And indeed this was the pinnacle of our week at the Kentucky Horse Park.
I keep looking at this photo, as I was lectured by R.J. as to types showing up. I have seen this type oddly enough in some of the Krush. Never where I line bred, but in other breeding’s. The photo gave me a whole different look as to Wadduda.
When I saw this picture…it took my breath!
Wadduda has always be my most favored mare
of all.
At first I thought this couldn’t be the “War Mare of the Chicago World Fair”.
As “Wadduda” was brought over to the USA to
showed at this fair.
Then after reading more from other people, I realized it is. Kudo’s to you for sharing
with others this “Treasured Mare: Wadduda”
This blog is maintained by Edouard al-Dahdah, a breeder and lover of Desert Arabian Horses, and otherwise a Senior Eonomist 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. Keep reading and I will keep posting.

This is the one that most reminds me of En Pointe CF (or maybe that should be the other way around).

Like a wild deer, except a Bedouin’s horse.
