Fazza’ Tai, Mlayhan stallion, Tai Bedouins, Syria
Radwan is looking for a new stallion for his growing herd. I advised him to purchase this young Mlayhan stallion, whose sons have been winning races. He is quite small but his origins are top notch.
The Tai tribe, the clan of al-Nahhab in particular, have owned a marbat of the Mlayhan strain for a long time. They brought it with them from Iraq a long time ago, maybe two hundred years. His maternal grand-dam was part of the second wave of registrations in Volume 7 of the Syrian studbook. She had several sisters and relatives, but only she was registered.
I don’t know if he is a Mlayhan Shahm al-Rass or from another branch. This is the strain of the “parrot-mouthed mare” which Major Roger Upton saw among the Sba’ah Bedouins in 1874, and which Lady Anne Blunt saw again in 1878. Upton and Blunt spelled it “Meleyhan”.
The top photo shows a young stallion with all the right stuff. Pleasing head, nice length of neck, short back, good length of hip, well laid back shoulder, long forearm, short cannons, decent bone and hooves. I would by him.
He bought him.
Well then Radwan is a smart guy! But we new that. His hindquarters are even better than Sameh the Egyptian…Oh if only we in the west could somehow apply for foreign aid from the cradle countries in the form of frozen semen!
