Kanz Al Khair, Ubayyan Suhayli stallion at Basil Jadaan in Damascus
This is a stylish stallion with a superb pedigree and very clean pedigree.
The fact that I recall most of his ancestors in the fifth and sixth generations must mean that I am getting old.. I remember Adeelah, Obeirah, Mokhtar, Maseh, Al Kahirah, Mobarak at Basil’s, Marzouq, Aseelah, and their son Shaddad at Kamal Abdel Khalek in Aleppo, Fawaz and his dam at Saleh Sorouji in Damascus, Ayid at Ayman Ajlani, and Mashuj at Fouad Al-Azem in Hama. The 1990s and early 2000s were the golden years of the Arabian horse in Syria.
Amazing stallion!!!!
That dark bay colour is gorgeous. I recognise Loonah and Al Kahirah, from the photos of them at the 2008 Syrian show, and Mokhtar from this blog. It is really nice to see a descendant of theirs!
Isn’t the reason for these golden years partly the concomitant creation of the Syrian studbook?
of course, but also the opening of the Gulf market to the Syrian horses in the late 1990s, which droves prices very high
