Clarification: Ibn El Chaarssa — Kuhaylan al-Kharas of Tahawi Bedouin lines
These are photos that accompanied two articles written by Kirsten and Bernd Radtke when they helped to document the Tahawy horses. If you allow for the odd typo, this could be the same stallion, but the photos tell a different story. The photo captions are as they appeared in the articles. Can anybody shed some light on who these horses are?

The first is called Al Kharass, same strain. I didn’t see the second picture before but I think it is a younger horse whose dam might be Al Kharass’s sister. The line continues till today and there is one mare available of this strain.
