Al-Khaldi, Shuwayman Sabbah, 2005
Al-Khaldi’s line is the most popular line of race horses in Syria today. It is now hard to find a Syrian Arabian without a line to him. Hazaim took the these two photos in 2005 in Garhok, in the extreme North East of Syria. Yours truly is holding him, in bad need of a haircut.
In the Syrian Studbook, the sire of al-Khaldi appears as the Hadban Enzahi stallion Burhan. In reality his sire was al-Asda’, the dark bay Kuhaylan ibn Jlaidan of Ali al-Basha, by the Ma’naqi Hadraji of Zahir al-‘Ufaytan, out of the Kuhaylat ibn Jlaidan of Raja al-Ghishm, herself by the chestnut Kuhaylan Ajuz of Bardan Mit’ab al-Jlaidan, a strain the Jlaidan brought from the Sharif of Mecca five human generations ago.
Dam: ‘Abirah, a black Shuwaymah Sabbah from the marbat of Muhammad al-Rahbi of the Shammar, and before that from the Juhaysh clan of al-Bu Mutaiwit between Sinjar and Tall Afar, Iraq and before that from the Jarbah Shaykhs of the Shammar.
I recall a really small horse, pony size, and I was certainly not impressed.
He has a very kind expression. Looks like a nice shoulder too. The little horses are so often surprisingly quick!
