I was on the trail of offspring of the Bábolna bred Hadban I (Hadban Inzihi x 24 Gazlan, by Gazlan), a stallion imported to Namibia in 1910. I got stuck into a stack of magazines and I found something unexpected. In the March 1958 edition of the Sankt Georg magazine is an article written by Dr. F. Pilawka after a recent visit to Sidi Thabet, Tunisia. There are three photos that I’ve never seen before and I thought you guys might be interested. I’ve taken the liberty of adding a translation. The desert stallion “Tabriz” from the domain of Maknassy, eight years old, raced before he came to Sidi Thabet. The desert stallion “Ibn” from breeding that is the domain of “Bir Chaïba, fourteen years old, former, successful racer, currently a senior stallion. “Aissauê” an up and coming stallion in Arabian breeding, recently ended his racing career, 5 years old.
