Photo of the Day: *El Abiad
By Edouard Aldahdah
Posted on July 16th, 2010 in Arabia, Lebanon
Today I was able to find a photo of the stallion *El Abiad (by Karawane x *Rajwa), a Saqlawi “Ejrifi” imported by W.R. Hearst from Lebanon in 1947. For an interesting discussion of El Abiad’s origins, click here. Too bad he does not have asil descendants left in the USA. His full sister, *Bint Rajwa, should have a couple elderly asil horses left, which otherwise trace to Al Khamsa horses in all their lines. I intend to propose *Bint Rajwa and her dam *Rajwa for the inclusion in the Al Khamsa Roster, next year. Photo from the Arabian Stud Book Volume VII, 1953

WOW! Talk about being classically smooth! Do you know how tall he was? While a person really cannot see the head, it appears that he has a really nice eye. Stunning.
