Twelve Davenports (and friends) of Christmas: Marathon

Nine, ten, eleven, …many. Let’s throw counting to the winds, shall we? (Bonus Red Dwarf humor included, because that’s the way my mind works.)

The mares say:

This is mine:1
Capucine and ADA Intuition
And this is mine:2
Petit Point CF and ADA Point Reyes
This is mine too:3
Fay and Tirf-Aynad
In fact, all this here is mine:4
Bint Meringue plus entourage
Except that. But he can nurse anyway.5

Fay and 1950 colt Tirf-Aynad by Hanad. Larry Kenney photo via Arabian Horse News via Datasource. Fay is not a straight Davenport, but is heavily Davenport-bred—a hasty calculation puts her at 71% Davenport, with close lines to Domow (*Astraled? x *Wadduda) through three separate offspring. I was struck by her resemblance to both *Wadduda and the modern En Pointe CF.

Bint Meringue playing pied piper to four of the five 2009 foals at New Albion. Somewhere in the scrum are her Lirac HD (by Shiraz CF), ADA Selene (Ascendant x Petit Point CF), Poeticus HD (Latitude HD x Brandy Sioux Jeannate), and Celestia (Cantador x Laikah, non-asil). Yes, she let them all nurse. Photo by Kat Walden.

  1. Excellent, then you can read this entry in the proper accent! (I wasn’t even going to try to write it that way. Or to explain it, come to think. 😀 )
