Bint Bint Muhaira, Sulka
Also from sporthorse-data.com is this photo of the 1969 ‘Ubayyah mare Bint Bint Muhaira (Ibn Fadl x Bint Muhaira by Sirech0), and the 1967 Hamdani stallion Sulka (Ibn Fadl x Blue Start by Ibn Fadl). Where are the descendants of these great horses? There should be hundreds of them today.
I guess I have the youngest SULKA descendants. I have a 2006 mare, AELFLEAH ANANDA in my pasture right now. She will be bred on one day, as I can manage it. A nice bodied mare, with a good brain.
I also bred, and sold, a 2007 SULKA descendant that I think is still a stallion, AELFLEAH ZEITGEIST. He might possibly have offspring unregistered. I have a 2010 SULKA descended gelding too, AELFLEAH IDLEWILD, but he’s not going to be continuing the lines obviously.
All three of these descend from SULKA through SULAM to TURFA GHAZALAH.
I must say I really enjoyed looking at the photos of the Searle’s horses in the latest Khamsat (which Monica Respet kindly lent me) as well as the testimonies from Lorriee, Jackson, George Hooper, Jeanne Craver, and Joe Ferriss.
I could not believe that these horses were as beautiful as they look in the photos, especially the Fadl-Turfa-Sirecho horses. More on this later as I digest this.
