Photo of the Day: DB Rulique, Hamdani stallion in Canada
DB Rulique (Ruta-Am x Desert Malique by Desert Jalam) is a 1987 Hamdani Simri stallion bred by Rodger Davis entirely from original desert stock. He traces in tail female to Sindidah, a mare from the stables of the House of Saud. His owner Kelly Miller of Alberta, Canada, trained him as a level 3 dressage horse. Bedouins consider the ‘blood marking’ on the body to be a mark of ‘asalah’ (purity, authenticity). Photo from Lee Oellerich, who owned the horse for a couple years.
He embodies true collection, rejoicing in his strength, mocks at fear and is not dismayed, to paraphrase some better writers than i. What a horse!
Best wishes

Absolutely gorgeous…Did he breed on???
He did Clothilde, and quite a bit for a BLUE STAR stallion
Fabulous horse, good question Clothilde… did he?
sure did! with more crosses to Sindidah!
Great Job!
He simply sings — and without benefit of neck sweats, goop, or a #40 clipper blade. This photo makes me rejoice.
I think I’m in love!
Do they offer shipped semen?
Ask Lee, he knows the owners.
I would be delighted to have a photo of him in dressage for the Khamsat photo feature, now in progress!
Remember also,Jeanne, that last May we saw Rulique’s more-than-half brother AAS Al Hamdani (AAS El Hezzez x Desert Malique), and were impressed with his powerful, collected movement…
Ah, yes! Thank you for reminding me of the connection. I can see more clearly now. I did like AAS Al Hamdani very much indeed.
This Tail female line just almost did not get into the registry!
Things have come a long way?
But then it took a lot to just get the Davenports, like a new registry!
I just found this site and the references to DB Rulique. He is my horse now. I live in Sequim, Washington. I got him in June of 2011. I got him in hopes of breeding him to my Blue Star Hamdani mare AAS Anidah. I’m happy to report that this year the breeding was successful and we are expecting a foal in early April, 2013. I’m posting this because someone was wondering where Rulique was. He’s here, he’s happy and healthy and active.
Hey Michele, glad you found this site! I am such a big fan of your stallion DB Rulique based on the unique photo I saw of him! So if you have more photos to share, please send them to me at ealdahdah@hotmail.com
Thanks!
