Jabinta, 1969 Saqlawiyat al-‘Abd
Lyman Doyle sent me these scanned photos of grand mare Jabinta (Jadib x Bint Malakah by Subani), a 1969 Saqlawiyat al-‘Abd tracing to Homer Davenport’s *Wadduda. She has my Jadiba (by Dib) at her side. Jadiba and Jabinta are the kind of mares that should have produced ten foals not one, and certainly not by the same stallion.
As my father would say: “Ya hayk faras ya bala!“, or “Either a mare like that, or none at all!”
Wonderful mare! These are the first I have seen of her.
I am always so glad to see old photos of older horses. This mare is lovely – I bet she would have been a fun ride.
Still lamenting the loss of her unregistered granddaughters by Ibn Tirf.
Jenny, what’s the story behind that?
It’s a long and painful story, full of heartaches. My Jadiba when in the ownership of Joyce Hamsphire had two daughters in 1994 and 1995 by Joyce’s stallion Ibn Tirf that were not registered. We were very close to finding one of them in 2008.

Ah, I am beginning to know this heartache, as I was warned I would. A crying shame.
There are always, it seems, heartaches!
