Photo of the day: Al-Aadiyah, desert-bred mare from Saudi Arabia

Another photo coming through “pure man” is that of the beautiful asil Arabian mare Al-’Aadiyah (Al Wadah x Afaf), from the King ‘Abd al-’Aziz government stud of Dirab, in Saudi Arabia. Al-’Aadiyah is a Kuhaylah Umm ‘Arqub by strain.
I recall reading somewhere that this particular strain had been owned by the Saud Royal Family for a long time. Other, separate branches of the strain are still present in Syria too. Enjoy!

Oh Edouard, I took a suggestion from egyptianbreeders.com to look at this mare and she and her foal are so beautiful! Thank you for putting up this spectacular photo.
Pam, Debbie and Jill on a lovely Sunday afternoon

Suspense! It’s tough to imagine better, but if you say so, I can hardly wait!
