— Kuhaylan Harqan is Kuhaylan al-Ruwayl, an old strain from the Sharif(s) of Mecca then Qahtan I think (Ibn Qarmalah?). Dozens of pages on K. Harqan in the Abbas Pasha Manuscript. It would be great if there still were some horses from this strain today.
Abu Arqub is a branch of Kuhaylan, see the reference in the Abbas Pasha Manuscript. Raswan was mistaken when he put it as a separate strain in his Index.
Radara, 1964, by Janar (Jadib x Im Gulnar) out of Radriska. Janar = 100% Doyle breeding.
Radriska by El Drisakab, who was by El Ekaab (Ribal x Fernada by Hanad out of *Ferdisia by Rafeef out of Ferda) out of Drissula (the one and only). El Ekaab = Blunt + Hanad; Drissula = Huntington + Davenport + Egypt.
Radriska out of Radonna, who was by Raddan (Faddan x Baribeh) out of Hamouta (Borkaan x Yakouta) . Raddan = Babson + Blunt
Hamouta by Borkaan (Ribal x Babe Azab) out of Yakouta; Yakouta = Old Blunt, Ferida dam line.
Al-Zu’bi, who was Hazaim’s father’s maternal uncle in Kafr Aaya near Baba ‘Amr in Homs had a Kuhaylah Khdliyah mare daughter of the asil stallion Tabib, in the late 1970s.
Also, it is said that the Husayni family of Homs had Kuhaylan Khdili horses.
Old Edouard notes about Sattam al-Sha’lan from 2001, then published on AKHorsemen
Sattam ibn Hamad al-Sha’lan, the Sheikh of the Ruwalah died in 1901 of natural causes. He was succeeded by his cousin Fahd ibn Hazza’ al-Sha’lan. Fahd was murdered by his brother Nuri ibn Hazza’ al-Sha’lan in
1904. Nuri succeeded Fahd who succeeded Sattam.
Nuri was Sheikh from 1904 to 1936. He married 72 times (!!) and had 39 sons, all of whom but one were killed in raids before they had children. The surviving one, Nawaf ibn Nuri, died in 1921 (while his father was still alive). The daily affairs of the tribe were then in his hands, his father being too old to ‘rule’.
The son of Nawaf, Sultan ibn Nawaf ibn Nuri succeeded him. Sultan died in 1924 (also before his grandfather Nuri). Sultan was succeeded by his brother Fawaz, the friend of Carl Raswan. Fawaz was succeeded by his son Met’ab, who was succeded by Nuri, Anwar and Nawwaf who together are now the Sheikhs of the Ruwalah.
My dream is to write a book about Nuri al-Sha’lan. He played a crucial role in the history of Arabia, and he and his tribe have been overlooked in official history books, because of the rivalry between the Sha’lan family and the Saud ruling family of Saudi Arabia (although there were and is still intermarriage between the two: the wife of Prince Abdullah ibn AbdelAziz al-Saud, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia was a Sha’lan.

— Ought to write a piece about the pre-Islamic Arabian god Ya’sub — he was represented by a horse. Ibn al-Kalbi’s “Book of Idols” has more.
— I think I am going to propose the mare *Lebnaniah for inclusion in the Al Khamsa roster.

Shamma El Azjaa, 1974, one of the last lines to *Urfah.

Some aged mares probably left, but with lots of Egyptian blood.

Hamouta by Borkaan (Ribal x Babe Azab) out of Yakouta; Yakouta = Old Blunt, Ferida dam line.
So only Hanad and Babe Azab are Davenport, the rest is Blunt, and Sirrulla.

You have too many books in you, my friend! And not enough time!
