Photo of the day: Seanderich (b. 1902)

Seanderich, a desert bred stallion born in 1902, is one of the founders of Arabian horse breeding in Spain. Both his sire and his dam are stated to have been from the Saqlawi strain. The Spanish Stud-book actually has all his four grandparents as Saqlawi. For more details about his importation to Spain through an Istanbul-based horse dealer by the name of Ismailion, and his influence on Spanish breeding, read this article. And if you are interested in early (1900s) Spanish Arabian horse breeding, check this Flickr roll. One can’t help but lament the consequences of the addition to Spanish Arabian breeding of Polish Branicki bloodlines through Ursus and Wan Dick, and their overshadowing the influence of desert-bred imports like Seanderich, Sawah II and Bagdad.

  1. He looks like a horse of great substance and quality. Sorry to have read in the article that he left such a thin line in Spain. Another one that got away…

    This stallions and mares where the fundamental basis of Turkish Arabian breed.

  3. Abdülaziz I.,established a Stud (Ka??thane Haras?) in 1864,not far from Istanbul,it was very Beautyful.
    He purchased 100 mares and a few stallions from the Stud in Bialocerkiew,what is today Poland.

    This Horses was not D.B.,…I want to tell it.

    The so-called Desert Breed, which were imported to Spain came from the Imperial Stud.
    The Stallions:
    Osman
    Mustafa
    Tayeb
    Seanderich
    and mares
    Zuleime
    Zarife
    Fatima
    Zoraida
    Urfa
    Validek …
    were descendants of the Bedouin desert horses, and also from the Polish imports.
    Also from the stallion Baijan.
    This Arabian stallion came as a gift of Emperor Wilhelm II, who visited Istanbul in 1898 for the second time.
    Baijan was Abdulhamid II, brought as a gift.
    Also a lot of horses from Babolna in Hungary, and the Royal Stud at Weil from Germany, arrived in Istanbul.
    Ibrahim was also the stallion bred by Abdulhamid II,
    Whose parents were not a desert Arab horses but horses from France.

  4. Yes, I know…but this is true…
    Also SEANDERICH,born in Asiatic Turkey in 1902.
    Maybe in Urfa or they mean the Vilayet Baghdad…in this Time it was in the Ottoman Imperia.

  5. Arabian racing is popular in Turkey since ancient times.
    The Ottoman sultans for centuries received gifts of Arabian horses from getting to the countries over which they reigned.In 1861 the Sultan Abdulaziz I, founded a new farm, building with oriental horses and sent a commission to purchase in Bialocerkiew, the stud of Count Branicki in Poland, whose breeding have a very good reputation.
    This included the 1855 stallion Indjanin imported from England.
    The Commission purchased 92 horses, including some descendants of Indjanin.1879 gave the Sultan Abdulhamid II, two stallions from this stable, Leopard and Linden Tree, as a gift to President Grant in the United States.Also the Blunt’s visited in 1893 the imperial stables, in this Time,there were about 1,700 Purebred Arabian horses.
    Lady Anne saw a world-class Arabian mare, a Seglawiyah, named Asshab by Emir Mohammed Ibn Ahmed Ibn Rashid.
    She said about her: >>a perfectly wonderful Gray mare, such lovely as a gazelle from Ali Pasha Sheriff<<.The American, Homer Davenport, who are was a Arab horse enthusiasts after he had seen a few Individuals to the Syrian World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, traveled 1906 to Istanbul and visited the imperial stables.
    In his opinion, led the horses good blood, but not all were to the liking of the Bedouins.They were poorly kept, and the potential of a number of well-drawn stallions was really wasted.With the founding of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, old stables have been converted to the new sultan National Stud, etc. Karacabey, Anadolu, and Sultansuyu, the former farm of Sultan Ahmed.
    A small number of foundation horses for the stud came from the stables of Mehmed IV, and there were horses that were bought in 1925 and 1936 in the region of Urfa in eastern Turkey and Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.Since the establishment of the National horse breeding stud farms in Turkey is well documented.Today, there are also many private stables, buy the horses, mainly in Turkey for the very popular racing sport.Horse Races are today in Turkey to the most appropriate means for breeding selection.Heart, lungs, tendons, ligaments and joints are designed according to performance.All horses that go into breeding, are previously tested on the racetrack, Turkey naturally has an excellent infrastructure for racing.They want to preserve the hard constitutional features and wish also horses that are not only fast, but are suitable in terms of good feed conversion, high fertility, long breeding life, and rapid recovery capability after great efforts for further breeding.Turkey has one of the meticulously conducted stud books in the world.The breed is still heavily dominated by desert lines, although there are also other lines.
    Crabbet, Spanish, Egyptian and Russian horses are almost unknown, but Poles are very popular.Some Polish Arabian Horses were imported from the Polish Stat Stud Farm "Janow Podlaski".Today, the Turkish state studs includes one of the largest collection of authentic asil Arabian Horses, they are 7 stallion and 37 mare lines.

  7. To the breeders of Pure Spanish Arabians !!!
    I’ve often read about the first so-called: Desert Imports
    And was quite amazed.
    The historical facts are incorrect.
    I am a member, of the former Ottoman dynasty

    I want to clarify something

    The so-called desert breeding Arabian horses were imported to Spain in the years 1905 to 1912, were from the Imperial Stud Farm Ayazaga Stable’s or
    Kagithane of Abdulhamid II
    During this time, there were no Arab republics, like Syria,Lebanon or kingdoms like Iraq and Jordan or Saudi Arabia,at this time.

    The Arabian Peninsula and Mesopotamia were part of the Ottoman Empire.
    The horses were the offspring of desert Arabs.

    Mr.Ismailion in Istanbul, was a Sephardic Jew and the agent for foreign buyers.
    The horses’ names are Turkish or only called by his Strain’s, and were converted into Spain in a Spanish spelling.
    These horses were from the royal farms of Abdulhamid II.

    Mare’s:

    Fatima (Fatma) in foal, bought in 1904 from Mr.Maria Agua from the Royal Palace Stable’s,at the price of: 3,353 Pts.

    Eureka (Buldum) in foal, bought in 1904 from Mr.Maria Agua from the Royal Palace Stable’s,at the price of: 3,917 Pts.

    Zarifa (Zarife), bought in 1905 from Abd el Bahan Effendi from Urfa at the price of: 2,487 Pts.

    Zulima (Züleyma), bought in 1905 from Hrain El Fenda from the Royal Palace Stable’s,at the price of: 3,330 Pts.

    Zoraida (Züreyde), bought in 1905 from Celik Muhammad from Urfa at the price of: 2,484 Pts.

    Urfa a nonnamed Manekiye from the Turkish City Urfa , bought in 1907 from Dek Raman from Urfa at the price of: 2,334 Pts.

    Validek, the Mare of Rahime Piristû Valide Sultan (the Stepmother of Abdülhamid II.), bought in 1909 from Alderi Effendi from the Royal Palace in Istanbul.

    Thus Horses are very special.
