Twelve Davenports of Christmas: Sotamm and ADA Recapitulation
It’s Boxing Day, so you get a bonus Davenport. (Actually, I ran across a series of comparisons between historic and modern Davenports that some Davenport people did in email in 2006, and I’ll try to share the ones I can illustrate.)
Sotamm, 1919 brown mare (*Hamrah x *Farha)
ADA Recapitulation, 2003 chestnut mare (Memoir UF x Capucine), age 2.
When I first saw the Sotamm picture, I was initially shocked by the resemblance, then gratified to realize that we really are doing more than just preserving names in pedigrees.
The likeliness is indeed striking. Must be the *Hamrah blood.
