Photo of the Day: Dahess, 1987 Ubayyan Suhayli stallion, Syria
The first and only desert-bred Syrian stallion we ever owned. More on him later, as I dig up better photos. This one was taken in 1995 at the farm of Mustafa Jabri in Aleppo, where Dahess was standing at stud. My father is teasing him..
Lovely
What a handsome gentleman! Is there any line left to him, I hope?
Yes, there is a sire line. One of his grandsons is at stud in France. There are several good mares from him too. He was the second sire at Radwan’s stud in Aleppo after Al Aawar, whose daughters were bred to him.
Whew! I thought I had seen the name in some pedigrees.
Fantasy horse?
Not really, he had a straight profile, but he carried himself like a king.
