Azzah, Saqlawiyah Jadraniyah from Syria

‘Azzah was one of my father’s favorite mares at Mustafa Jabri’s. She was a daughter of the Hamdani Ibn Ghurab al-Aawar and of Nadia, a desert bred Saqlawiyah Jadraniyah tracing to the marbat of Muhammad al-Dahdah of the Jawwalah clan of Tai and to Dari al-Mahmud of the Zawba’ Shammar before that. That strain originally goes back to the ‘Anazah. I took this photo of hers in the mid-1990s.

Despite being the daughter of two registered horses, and the full sister of Mustafa’s other senior stallion Ihsan (photo below), Azzah was somehow missed by the first wave of registrations of the late 1980s, and was only registered in the second wave in 2001.

By the way, it took me ten years before I realized that Ihsan was a son of Al-Aawar.

  1. If only there could be more of this type of mare, love her depth of chest, long, low neck, big shoulder, the “Thoroughbred” look of her. I see why you were interested in Polynesia LD.

  2. Oh, what a nice mare. Really classy, looks like she could be a real athlete. And her brother has solid-looking legs and feet.

  3. Yes, that is her. Owners now have to add farm suffixes to their horses because of other horses with same name.

    To complete your pedigree: the sire of the dam of Krush Juhayyhim was the Kuhaylan Haifi of Juhayyim, and he was black. The maternal grand-dam was from the stud of Mayzar Abd al-Muhsin al-Jarba.
