I am happy to see a second photo of this horse. It appeared in a July 1968 article on the horses of Lebanon in the French magazines “Plaisirs Equestres”, which Christele Seranne shared on Facebook. The horse is Hicham, a racehorse born in Iraq, who raced in Lebanon in the ownership of Henri Pharaon. He was a part-bred Arabian, with anywhere from 12.5% to 25% English Thoroughbred blood on the sire side. His dam was said to be a Ma’naqiyah Sbayliyah. He won many, many races, before the Lebanese government chose him to become a breeding stallion. Many breeders sent their asil mares to him, which contributed to the ruin of the Lebanese asil arabian horse breeding program. His get raced well too, and several of them became stud horses too. Some of his get were exported to the USA, where they were registered in the AHA (and hence by WAHO).
