Bill Cooke gave Jeanne Craver permission, who gave me permission to use this previously unpublished *King John photo, courtesy the Arabian Horse Trust collections at the International Museum of the Horse in Lexington. He was a Saqlawi Jadran from the marbat of Dari al-Mahmud, Shaykh of Zawba’ Shammar in Abu Ghraib. This was the best marbat of Saqlawi Jadran in Arabia in the 1920s/30s. Please use proper credit (above) when using. The line died out in Al Khamsa with the death of Beau Nusik (Nusik x Reshan Azab by Janeo, a son of *King John) in 1984.
Thanks, Bill and Jeanne.
no i don’t think so. why?
He was sold to Egypt as a racehorse after Dari was killed by the British. We have his hujjah in Arabic. I will publish his hujjah in Arabic at some point It says that he was bred by Dari al-Mahmud of the Shammar Zawba’.
I read that king John was owned by EGYPTION breeder can you clarify this information to me because I never heard that the Iraqi breeder who was national warrior sent his race horse to Egypt
