Samarquand, Jilfan Jarjari stallion from Iran (1975-1998)
The 1975 Jilfan Jarjari stallion Samarquand (Arras x Avalin by Karoun) was bred by the late Majid Khan Bakhtiar, and later owned by his wife the late Mary Gharagozlou. He produced blacks as well as good race horses. His dam Avalin was a bay Jilfah (written Djelfe in Iran) mare, and the sire was Arras, a black Ubayyan Sharrak. Both photos are through Jens Sennek.
he had the most powerful black gene. his grandchild are now stallions and they are black too !
Bonjour edouard,
auriez vous d’autres photos des chevaux iraniens? où on les voit de façon plus complète ^^
j’en recois au fur et a mesure, et j’essaie de tout publier…
also beautiful horse! I was so lucky to meet Mary Gharagozlou personally in 1999. I saw many photos of her collection. Iranian Asils are very special.
I met Mary Gharagozlou at a WAHO Conference back in the 1980’s. We became immediate good friends and stayed in close contact through the years up until her death in 2001. Mary dedicated her life to her people and the Arabian horse. It was Mary’s many years of travel running down bloodlines and history of the Arabians of Iran that led to her creating the Stud Book that was submitted to WAHO at the Gold Coast, Australia, 2000 Conference where it was finally accepted.
I miss this great lady very much. May you be riding your beloved Arabians into eternity, dear Mary.
To Lorry Wagner, i wish to thank you for your lovely words about my aunt Mary Gharagozlou, we miss her very much to.
