Yaqut, Saqlawiyat ibn Amud from Basil Jadaan’s breeding in Syria
Yaqut is another gorgeous Saqlawiyat Ibn ‘Amud from the breeding of Basil Jadaan, by Shaddad (Marzuq x Aseelah) out of Karawiyah (Odeilan x Marwah). She is a maternal grand-daughter of Marwah and the dam of Basil’s stallion Shadeed. Sadly, this maternal line was lost due to the war in Syria and is now only represented through Shadeed.
Yaqut’s sire Shaddad, a Ma’naqi Sbayli, was bred by Kamal Abd al-Khaliq in Aleppo, and his lines blended very well with Basil’s mares.

Look at the chest on that mare. She must have been a tank. How sad for us that her line has been extinguished :c
What a lovely mare! And a beautiful photo of her son – all the colours in that photo work so very well together.
