Ibn Fadl’s Finale, 1975 Kuhaylah mare
First time I see a photo of this mare. She was beautiful. I wish that her type had prevailed in these *Turfa horses. She was 44% *Turfa.

Oh, I do like to see horses under saddle and demonstrating a good canter. She is a lovely mare.
Turfa horses are dreams in both presence and personality. I have a few and they are truly gems.
Turfa blood was central to us way back when we were breeding Arabian horses. Aside from true desert finesse they were incredible movers and very intelligent with lots of presence. I also saw and filmed many horses of this breeding. The horse you pictured, Ibn Fadls Finale, is the dam of the great stallion Le Encore (x Ibn Sirecho). She also is a full sister to Famaje, one of the most magnificent Blue Star Turfa bred stallions that I ever took movies of. We had on lease for a short while Du Fadl (Ibn Fadl x Dualah by Ibn Fadl x Bint Turfara). He also had 43.75% Turfa blood.
