Sabine, daughter of Mossoul and Kadidja

Below is a photo of the grey mare Sabine, foaled in 1900, who is presumably the daughter of two of M. Portalès’ imports. The picture comes from the article, ‘Les chevaux du midi’, printed in the 27 October 1907 Le Sport universel illustré. Mossoul’s entry in volume 11 of the Stud-Book français (1894) says he was out of a Saqlawiyah, and came from the ‘Anazah. Kadidja’s entry, in the same volume, says she was from the Mawali. Her sire was a Kuhaylan al-Kharass and her dam a Saadat; in Edouard’s post on Georges Tabet’s 1937 Ansaab al-Khayl al-Arabiyah the Sa’dan Tuqan, Sa’dan al-Hassun and Sa’dan al-Najr are all three said to be “with the Mawali”. There are photos of Mossoul and Kadidja in two prior posts on imported stallions and mares at Pompadour.
