Kuhaylat al-Wati, Syria, 2019, daughter of Mahboob Halep
The picture is not so good, but the mare pictured is interesting. She is the only offspring the Shuwayman stallion Mahboub Halep produced in Syria before leaving for France. Her strain is Kuhaylan al-Wati (same strain as Kuhaylan Jallabi, by the way)
Sire: Shuwayman, Mahboub Halep (a maternal grandson of Al-Aawar with another cross to him further back through Barakah whose sire was the Hamdani Ibn Ghurab the horse of Lofan, whose sire was al-Aawar), from the strain of the Shaykhs of the Shammar
Sire of dam: Rabdan, Zayn al-Khayl from the strain of the Shaykhs of Tai
Sire of grand-dam: Krushan, Bahr Al Hadi, from the strain of the Shaykhs of the Shammar (a son of the Hadban stallion Burhan who was a son of the Hamdani of Lofan al-Hadi son of Al-Aawar)
Sire of great-grand-dam: Krushan, Bahr Al Hadi, same as above (so one more cross to Al-Aawar)
Sire of great-great grand-dam: Hamdani ibn Ghurab, Al Aawar. He sired Nawrooz.
Sire of great-great-great grand-dam: A Kuhaylan al-Wati from her family, from the strain of al-Ghishim
Sire of great-great-great-great grand-dam: also a Kuhaylan al-Wati, but not sure if same horse as above or not.
So in total at least five crosses to Al-Aawar. Multiple crosses to Abu-Kitf (maternal grandsire of both al-Aawar and Mahrous), and more crosses to Krush Juhayyim and to Hayfi Juhayyim further back.
A great pedigree.
She certainly has her sire’s ear. What a clean pedigree. It does not get better in 2019
It may not be a good picture, but she is a lovely colour (and so glossy!), and I do like her expression very much. Is it possible to get photos of her from a better angle/in a better pose?
