Naaman, Da’jani stallion, in Russia
The horse in the photo below is the 1897 son of Mesaoud and Nefisa, who was bought along with Sobha at the 1899 Crabbet Park Sale, and sent to the Russian state stud at Derkul.

I know, I know, a dog with a bone on this one, but, like — the white spotting. I really do hope we can ID the white spotting mutation that we see in Arabians – the “bragada sabino.”
Good old Mesaoud and his white spotting influence.
