Hassan a Stallion at the Syrian Arabian Horse Government Stud in 1958
Last year, I posted a photo of the grey Ma’naqi Sbayli stallion Sultan, one of the Syrian government stallions at the stallion depot of the Veterinary Unit of the Syrian Ministry of Agriculture in 1958 (Syria’s then equivalent of the EAO). Now I am posting this photo of Sultan’s mate, the Hamdani Simri stallion Hassaan. Photo from Hazaim Alwair.
Judging from these pictures and others, the Syrian government appears to have maintained of asil stallions at this time. I was told that when in the late 1950s Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser offered it the stallion Amro (Nazeer x Amara by Kheir x Zahra by Hamran II), many Syrian breeders shunned him because they felt the government stallions were better.
Another stallion standing at the Syrian government stud at that time was Abu al-Tayyeb, a K. Krush. See here:

Fawaz was from Syrian government?
So good!
He looks stunning & proofs desertbreds can be very, very typey. Same applies on Abu al-Tayyeb – especially considering that they’re posing naturally.
no fawaz was at the stud of salih srouji in damascus
Thanks so much Edouard,I have cross four straight Egyptian mares with Fawaz’s son.God bless them.
Hi, is this stallion named Hassan, sired by Ibn Morafic and from Helum? Is he the sire of Saida? I am searching for photos of that Hassan and wondered if this was him?
No, that’s another one. The Hassan you are talking about was sent to Morocco. Ask the Straight Egyptians In Morocco facebook page about him.
