Another picture of Najm and Marwah, the desert-bred Saqlawiyah Jadraniyah of the Shammar
Marwah had these magical soulful eyes and long eyelashes. She was small, but built like a tank. Both photos from Marwa’s owner Basil Jadaan.
The strain belongs to Hasan ibn Amud who led the Amud clan of the Northern Shammar, but traces to the Jadraniyat mares of the Frijah clan of the Ruwalah. The Frijah were the fountainhead of the Saqlawi Jadran strain.
Built like a tank indeed! Fully developed hindquarters without a hint of cat hams- ! Didn’t L.A.B’s Saqlawis also have remarkable good hindends- which is where the Doyle horses got theirs from?

“Small but built like a tank” is pretty much my ideal.
Do you know who the man standing with the mare is?
it’s Najm al-Himmayri, the “man of horses” from Deir, just like the other picture.
A lovely, well-built mare! She has such a pretty face.
She would fit on a list of top mares from anywhere.
Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!
