Another Rabdan stallion in 2019

This Rabdan stallion’s name is Jurnass. He is the most noteworthy Syrian stallion of the last couple years. His current owner is Dham al-Ahmad al-Daham al-Hadi al-Farhan al-Jarba, Sheikh of the Shammar. A few years ago, some Syrian Bedouins started started mating Rabdan stallions from Tai marbats, probably because they are so handsome. It was not the case before. Breeders from the cities followed suit. This new trend started with the very handsome Zayn al-Khayl (Ghaseeb x Raghdanah), who was used heavily across Syria with excellent results. Those same breeders who used to deride Egyptian pashas for having mated Rabdans a hundred or so years ago (e.g., Rabdan al-Azrak, the sire of Ibn Rabdan) used Zayn al-Khayl in a heartbeat.
