“At Cairo we heard from sportsmen, that from time to time one or two horses ‘asil’ from the stud of the Sheikh of Bahrain came up on the race track; they always ran with great success. This stud, existing since 1785, is pure-in-the strain bred. The same was confirmed to us by the Bedouins of Damascus.”
I am doing research about Zientarski. Would it be possible to let me know in what book you found this quote? Thanks!
most probably in Judi Forbis’ Classic Arabian Bloodstock
