Adrien Deblaise just shared with me this photo of the Syrian stallion imported to France, Hussam al-Shamal (Raad x Rouba al-Shamal by Al-Abjar). He is reminicent of his sire the desert-bred (literally born under a tent) Kuhaylan al-Mossen Raad in color, size of the eye, croup, and of his maternal grandsire, the impressive Saqlawi ibn Zubayni al-Abjar (neck, ears, shoulder).
This is a better picture for him showing all his qualities. Lovely horse.
Shows indeed a stallion with qualities but based upon the muscles in his back he hasn’t been worked for a very long time? Is his right hoof behind the issue?
Hussam is training again after my personnal family problems. It is in very good health in despite of long lack of work and his special standing on hereabove picture.
