The first and only desert-bred Syrian stallion we ever owned. More on him later, as I dig up better photos. This one was taken in 1995 at the farm of Mustafa Jabri in Aleppo, where Dahess was standing at stud. My father is teasing him..

Yes, there is a sire line. One of his grandsons is at stud in France. There are several good mares from him too. He was the second sire at Radwan’s stud in Aleppo after Al Aawar, whose daughters were bred to him.
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.

What a handsome gentleman! Is there any line left to him, I hope?

Whew! I thought I had seen the name in some pedigrees.
