Hopefully this time is the right time. Last time she slipped her foal at five months. She will be taking progesterone until she delivers. I can’t wait for this foal.

I received this photo from a friend in Tunisia, taken at Sidi Thabet. Kesseb (Sibawaih x Remada, by Cheikh El Ourbane) This is the only information that I could find, for what it’s worth.
This account was recorded in early 2021. It reads like a testimony in the Abbas Pasha Manuscript. My translation: I, Hammad Jaddu’ al-Jaz’ah, of the tribe of Tai, the clan of al-Jawwalah, am the owner of the strain of Saqlawi Dari, the horses of Jaddu’ al-Jaz’ah, in the town of Abu Hujairah, in the district of al-Qahtaniyah, the province of al-Qamishli, the governorate of al-Hasakah in Syria: Concerning the marbat of Da’jani Kashir, the horses of Khidr al-Ahmad al-Husayn al-Juburi, they came [to Syria] at the end of 1958 or the beginning of 1959. It was the father of Khidr who came [to Syria]; his name was Ahmad al-Ali al-Juburi [of the Jubur tribe]; he was the direct son of a daughter of Ahmad al-Taha; his maternal uncle was Ahmad al-Taha. That man came from Iraq, and had blood on his hands [dmawi — Edouard’s note: he had killed two men in Iraq and was a fugitive]; that’s why he crossed to Syria. Two mares came with him, a red one (bay) and a light grey one, both of the Da’jani Kashir strain, which was the marbat of his maternal uncle Ahmad al-Taha. He settled in Syria, from the beginning…
Yesterday Ginger foaled a little male, who as of this morning was still fighting for his life. He could not stand to nurse on his own, so Bev — bless her heart — has been waking up every two hours to lift him so he could nurse. I hope he pulls off. He is Ginger’s third foal in three years, after my Kinza, now two, and Bev’s Ginger Snap, a yearling. All three are by Bev’s stallion Subanet Jabbar SDA, so tracing to Fay El Dine in tail male and to Rabanna/Basilisk in tail female. When my partner Jana first saw a photo, her first reaction was: “Oh he looks like a little dog!” so I named him Kulayb. It’s Arabic for “little dog”, and it’s an old, old, Arabic Bedouin name. The Ancient Hebrews had it too, as the Biblical Caleb. In ancient pre-Islamic poetry, Kulayb son of Rab’iah was the name of a Bedouin hero from the ancient tribe of Taghlib. He was the brother of Mohalhil.
