I am cross-posting this here from another place that I had written this, and would love to pick everyone’s brains on their thoughts. Full disclosure: this was jumpstarted by reading Teymur’s posts here on DOTW and by reading and re-reading Michael Bowling’s three part series on Leopard and Linden Tree (…and perhaps by some personal spite re: the long-dead Randolph Huntington. I ended up not overly caring for his theories on breeding.) ~~~ ^ Source: The Illustrated Stock Doctor by J. Russell Manning, published 1890, pg 66.
Moira Walker just shared this Flickr stream. Many never seen before photos of US foundation stock, especially of Segario, *Nejdran, *Ibn Mahruss, *Shahwan and *Obeyran, others perhaps as well. Each photo deserves an article. Is that large photo of *Hamrah also new, towards the middle of the stream? Aaaahhh!
