Photos of the day: *Subaiha, *Taffel

Posted on August 19th, 2009 in Arabia, Saudi, USA
The mare *Subaiha and her daughter *Taffel were bred in Saudi Arabia, by Prince Saud ibn Abdallah ibn Jiluwi, a close relative of Saudi Arabia’s founder King Abd al-Aziz, and governor of the eastern, oil-rich Hasa (al-Ahsa’) province starting from 1938. His father Abdallah was governor of Hasan from 1913 to 1938.
They were imported by John Rogers to California in 1950. No asil progeny left. I don’t know their strain. Most of Ibn Jiluwi’s horses were either from the ‘Ubayyan strain or the Hamdani strain, though.

I went to look them up in the Rogers Arabian Stud catalog, but it’s not on the shelf where I expected to find it! Frustrating. Instead I checked the Blue Arabian Horse Catalog, which says *Subaiha is by an Abayyan out of a Hamdaniyah. *Taffel was by a Kuhaylan.

Found the Rogers catalog! I moved it to a lower shelf and didn’t see it at first. On page 6 it has the certificate for *Subaiha from Ibn Jiluwi. Same information as the Blue Catalog.

certificate in English or Arabic?

The upper part is in Arabic, and the lower part of the certificate is in English. The lower part appears to be a translation of the upper part.
