The photo below shows the three mares (from left) Sachida, Sadana and Sandara, daughter, dam, and granddam, at Marbach in 1992.

Sachida’s pedigree.

Sachida had nine registered foals, five of whom were asil fillies. These were:

• Sarina, 1993 grey mare, by Nami
• Saadawi, 1995 grey mare, by Nami
• Sabita, 1996 grey mare, by Serenity Habib
• Sahalina, 1997 grey mare, by Neshan
• Sabola, 2004 grey mare, by NK Bolbol

Sarina has three asil daughters who have produced foals at Marbach, Sabiha II, Sangule, and Sarafine. Of Saadawi’s asil daughters, only WM Sahaabah has produced registered offspring to date. Sabita and Sahalina have no recorded foals, and Sabola is the dam of two colts.

Sadana’s two other asil daughters Sahira and Souha have left no asil fillies to continue their line. That said, the stallion Sahil Ibn Farag II-3 (out of Souha) is a source of Murana I in mid-pedigree, with two asil colts bred at Marbach, and a daughter Farah Hafida Farag II-3 foaled in 2020 at Stephanie Weirich’s Farag Arabians. (A previous post on the 25-Amurath Sahib descendants being bred at Farag Arabians can be read here.)

Sandara has another asil branch of descent in the direct female line, through her daughter Suhaila, who foaled a filly Shabakka in 2008. At this point, however, Shabakka has no recorded offspring in the online studbook.
