Badia at one
Badia Al Arab (Monologue CF x Barakah Al Arab by Wadd Al Arab), now a yearling, is slowly growing into an excellent filly. Thrilled about her, and sad about her half sister out of Wadha, which I lost a day after birth to an infection.
The traditional Arab way of presenting Badia would be: Grey Kuhaylat al-Ajuz filly from the strain that was in the stud of King Abd al-Aziz Aal Saud. Her sire is al-Hamdani, her dam’s sire is al-Haifi, her grandsire is Krushan, her great-grandsire is al-Haifi.
Implicitly, all stallions listed are in the maternal line, and all are authentic, so there is no need to delve into their own ancestry, and identification by strain is enough. The fact that they were chosen to reproduce should suffice to authenticate them.
Badia is very pretty – the width between her eyes is remarkable and emphasises the way her face tapers.
I’m very sorry about Wadha’s foal.
she is really very pretty at an age when she normally should not be. Monologue never disappoints.
You are right, Monologue did a great job widening the space between the eyes on a line that was typically narrower in the face
Lovely girl!
