King’s horses south of Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia, 1946 or 1949
This unique photo is part of a series of 120 primarily glass slides taken by Joe Buchanan’s father, Robert Earle Buchanan, a professor of Agriculture at Iowa State University, on trips to the Middle East in 1946 and 1949. It is in the Comar Arabians collection of Garth and Joe Buchanan. Now held by Carolyn and Dick Hasbrook, Twinbrook Arabians, Ames, Iowa. It is on the website of the Arabian Horse Archives.
Thank you, Edouard!
The mare in the front is very reminiscent of Shammar desert-bred mares of the Saqlawi Jadran strain which I saw at Jabri’s farm in the early 1990s.
