I saw ‘Am’um (Kuhaylan al-Buthah x Raddah) in 2005 and snapped this photo. His sire is a Kuhaylan al-‘Ajuz from the very old marbat of ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn Jlaidan (or Kuhaylan Jlaidani). His dam is Raddah, a 1977 Ma’naqiyah Hadrajiyah of Faddan Ibn ‘Ufaytan. The sire of Raddah is the black Ma’naqi Hadraji of Mudhi al-Sabah al-Shihaan al-‘Ufaytan, Faddan’s cousin. The sire of her dam is the chestnut Kuhaylan al-‘Ajuz of Bardan Ibn Jlaidan. The Jlaidan and ‘Ufaytan are all cousins. They only use each other’s stallions, and seldom introduce outside horses to their closed breeding programs. This stallion met an untimely death. In my opinion, he was one of the best desert-bred stallions I had seen among the Shammar and Tai Bedouin tribes. Look at the prickled ears, the broad forehead, the low-set large eyes, the long neck, the long withers, the sloping shoulders, the strong back. And he was starving like most Bedouin horses I saw that year.
