AKA II: *Munirah, a 1950 chestnut Kuhaylat-‘Afayr mare bred at the Sa’ud royal studs and imported in 1962 by Richard and Laura Cavedo. By Buraq, a stallion of Sa’ud out of Bint ‘Afur. We were told by an ARAMCO official that she was the best Saudi mare he had ever seen. Let me look for a photo…. Reply
