Dear Edouard,

This is not an unidentified horse, this is ASSAD El-GABAL. If you stop with the mouse on the photo for a second you will see a note appearing.

The horse is mentioned in the herdbook of Abduallah Saoud El-Tahawy as a Dahman Amer of Jarallah Ibm Twerish bought from Syria in 1356 Hejri (1937) and it ran in the race before being sold to Hamid Quwaita El-Tahawy. The herdbook also mentions one daughter of Assad El-Gabal.

Forgot to say that the man in the photo is Mohammed Othman Abdullah Saoud El-Tahawy (father of our friend Mohammed).
