Photo of the day: Jalam Al Ubayyan as a younger horse

A nice picture of Jalam al Ubayyan as a young stallion in Saudi Arabia. He was bred in 1949 by Saud Ibn Adballah ibn Jalawi, Governor of the Saudi province of al-Hasa, and was imported to the USA by Connie Cobb in 1966.  He is present in many of the shorter (i.e., closer to the desert) pedigrees of US-bred asil horses (mainly through the category known as BLUE STAR Arabians).  Photo courtesy of the late Billy Sheets. Not sure if it was published before. Click on the picture to enlarge it.

    My bedoiun source stallion(blue star) is 25% Jalam Al Ubayan and looks very much like him. I enjoy your website very much. Keep up the good work.
