Tabib blood line Horses
These two horses are from the Tabib blood line
They are completely diferent from the French horses,with Thouroughbred blood, that we posted and from today French race horses.
The Iraqis are saying roughly that if Tabib (al Souri) was really a Thouroughbred or an Anglo Arab his sons and grand -sons should have been faster than ordinary Arab horses.
Dr. Mohamed el Nujaifi have published the results and times recorded by Iraqi horses on the Bagdad racetrack with and without Tabib blood they are almost the same.
He also posted the times of Iraqi Anglo -Arabs, there is really a difference between the times recorded between them and the Tabib blood line horses.
I ‘m not taking the Iraqi horses defense ,they are WAHO registered,and free to be sold anywhere in the world.This is what matter for the Iraqis after a ban who lasted more than 15 years,and many scandals due to wars, horses substitution and forged papers;the same happened in the beginning of the 90’s with Russian horses due to the late USSR end.
Today everything is in order and they can export horses,the Nujaifi’s sent, this year, 6 horses to race in Europe with not much success ,I may say.
They dont care much on what we think about their horses, as long as they are convinced that they are Asil.Anyway,this what they told me.
I will post later the Iraqi’s version of the Tabib story,It is a compleltely different story that the one we know.
According to them ,he was from the Dahman Amer strain,bred by the Bani Sakhr Tribe, given as a present from Emir Abdallah of Jordan to the famous Lebanese owner Saad el Dine Pasha Chatila.(the one who sold Krush to Dr Mabrouk’s Egyptian mission)
It is a long chapter in the book that I have to translate and resume into English,together with other picture from horses with and without Tabib blood
Hi Joe , hi all ,
I have to admit I know nothing about Iraqi ” asil ” horses .
I red the book by Nujaifi , I got it as a gift from Atheel Alnujifi , and I met Atheel Al-nujaifi and Dr. Mohamed Al-nujaifi .
I can tell they both seem to be very honest and highly respected, brothers , and I trust what they say about their horses.
