1 Pyramid Society Europe e.v. The Female Line Strains in the Straight Egyptian Breeding A journey through the history of our breed Egyptian Event Europe 2016 Seminar by Joe Ferriss

2 Root Female Lines of Straight Egyptian Arabians a summary document The Bedouin tribes of Arabia that created the Arabian horse used a matriarchal system of identifying a horse by its strain or female family. A horse s identity was handed down by the name of its mother s family. This was uniquely Bedouin. This was maintained in Egypt though sometimes the names were exceptions. One example would be the famous stallion I, bred by Ali Pasha Sherif. I was sired by the stallion of the Saqlawi Jidran strain, but his dam is the legendary El Dahma, a Dahmah Shahwaniyah mare by strain. In this instance I is named in honor of his sire but not his dam. Another factor to consider in some ancestors of Egyptian horses is that sometimes the specific name of the strain of an ancestor was well known during its time but not officially recorded later. This would apply to several of the root mares who have a general strain name but not a substrain, such as the Inshass mare Hind, a Saklawieh. For some others the strain is not clear such as the mare Karima whose dam is listed as Obeya but strain is not recorded so some have attributed this line to what it sounds like phonetically: Abayyah. Then there is also the unique situation for the mare Bint Yamama*, a much celebrated mare in Egyptian breeding. The Egyptian records give her strain as Kuhaylan Jellabi and it has never been changed from that notation officially. However, study of Lady Anne Blunt s diaries indicate that Bint Yamama s dam, Yamama would likely be the same mare Yemameh that produced the Ali Pasha Sherif stallion Mesaoud, imported by the Blunts who is a Saqlawi Jidran in strain. Recent MtDNA studies comparing the female lines of Mesaoud s dam line with that of Bint Yamama s line show they originate from the same original female. This has led to some choosing to give the strain of Saqlawi Jidran to Bint Yamama s line while others choose to honor the traditional Egyptian records. For the root mare El Samraa* she first appeared as a Saklawi but later the EAO changed it to Kuhaylan where it has remained since. Since strains are a cultural phenomenon and not a scientific one, they could be subject to evolution over time and circumstances. We already know that some substrains have evolved into others. Regardless of how one wishes to interpret strain designations today, there are 17 female roots to the dam lines of straight Egyptian Arabians today. From the year of birth of the first one to the last, spans nearly a century. With 17 different dam lines it is important to recognize all of them as important to the future of the straight Egyptian horse and therefore each deserves preservation. They are as follows: Strain and substrain: Original root mare KUHAYLAN DAHMAN HADBAN SAKLAWI ABAYYAN SHUWEYMAN Ajuz Rodan 1. Rodania [Blunt] Jellabi* 2. Bint Yamama* (as recorded in RAS studbook) Krush 3. El Kahila [Inshass-gift from Ibn Sa ud] of Abd El Hafiz 4. El Samraa* [Inshass-from Sh. Omar Abd El Hafiz] of Sa ud 5.

3 THE ROOT MARES: Rodania: Born in 1869, Rodania was bred by Ibn Rodan of the Ruala Bedouin tribe and therefore a Kuhaylan Ajuz Ibn Rodan by strain. She was purchased from the Gomussa tribe by Wilfrid and Lady Anne Blunt and taken to their Crabbet stud in England where she founded a dynasty. She is perhaps one mare that appears in Arabian pedigrees world wide today more than any other. How Rodania managed to establish a large family in Egypt came much later when in 1920 two fillies, Bint Rissala and Bint Riyala were sold by Crabbet back to Egypt and these two have established lasting and internationally successful families to this day. Bint Yamama: Her exact date of birth is not recorded but she was bred by Khedive Abbas Pasha Hilmi II. She later came under the ownership of Prince Mohammed Ali where she established a muchcelebrated female line. A number of her descendants were exported to the U.S. and became famous there, and some also went to Europe and South Africa. Surprisingly in Egypt the line eventually became rare. In the Egyptian records she is recorded as a Kuhaylan Jellabi, however, as mentioned before, Lady Anne Blunt s diaries and recent DNA study has suggested that her dam is related to the same Saqlawi Jidran female line of Abbas Pasha s Ghazieh. In this document she is presented as traditionally recorded in the RAS stud book. Regardless of which line of decent and strain one chooses to follow, Bint Yamama is the root female of a highly admired Egyptian family today. El Kahila: Born in 1921, El Kahila was the first mare to establish the foundation of the Royal Inshass Stud of King Fouad in Egypt. She was a gift from King Ibn Saud and her strain is identified as Kuhaylan Krush. This has been a line of some handsome and admired stallions such as Sabeel, Ibn Safinaz, Ibn Alaa El Din and Anas. It is also the dam line of the splendid E.A.O. mare Safinaz, an equal in type to the famed Moniet El Nefous, yet as a female line it has become quite rare in Egypt and to some extent depends on lovely mares of this line exported to other countries. El Samraa: Born in 1924, El Samraa was another important foundation mare for the Royal Inshass Stud. She was obtained from Sheikh Omar Abd El Hafiz. Her exact strain has been uncertain since her descendants were first listed in the Saklawi section of the E.A.O. stud book and later listed in the Kuhaylan section, which most now follow. Without question her most famous male descendant is the great sire Sameh whose daughters are cornerstone to many international champions as well as producing a few key sires. The dam line to El Samraa is also well regarded. Nafaa: Born 1941, Nafaa was a gift from King Aziz Ibn Saud to King Farouk. Her sire is Obayan El Safi and dam is a Kuhaylah of Saud. Nafaa produced 5 foals at Inshass but the only straight Egyptian progenitor of this family became the North American imported mare Serenity Bint Nadia (Sameh x Nadia) who has established a relatively rare but admired family internationally. Interestingly this female line has also returned to Saudi Arabia more recently. Futna: Born 1943, Futna was bred by Abdul Hamid El Tahawi of the Tahawi Bedouin, sired by Ibn Barakat and out of a Kuheilah Halawiyah (Kellawiyah). This rare substrain was preserved in straight Egyptian breeding when Ahmed Hamza acquired Futna for his stud. Though rare, this line continues today in Egypt as well as through two Futna great granddaughters imported to the U.S.

4 El Dahma: Born c in the stud of Ali Pasha Sherif, El Dahma is the third oldest female line in straight Egyptian breeding. El Dahma is of the Dahman Shahwan strain and is represented through her daughters Obeya [granddam of Sabah and El Yatima] and Nadra El Khebira [granddam of Farida]. Though current data has not been compiled yet for comparative purposes, some feel that El Dahma s female line is the largest and most populated root female line in straight Egyptian breeding, and certainly among the most famous. Bint El Bahreyn: Born 1898, Bint El Bahreyn was one of two mares given to Egypt s Khedive Abbas Hilmi II by the ruler of Bahrain. Later when the Khedive was winding down his involvement with Arabians, Lady Anne Blunt acquired Bint El Bahreyn after which it became a prominent Dahman Shahwan family in Egyptian bloodlines. Though this is not as large a female line as that of El Dahma, extensive use of stallions of this line has made Bint El Bahreyn a famous ancestress many times over internationally. Venus: Born c and imported to Egypt for Khedive Abbas Hilmi II, Venus is the sole root of a very celebrated Hadban Inzahi family. Because it is valued for both its stallions and its mares, the Hadban Inzahi strain permeates extensively bloodlines of today s straight Egyptians and the line from Venus is a very large and prized family. This is the dam line of World Champions Gelgelah AlBadeia and Simeon Shai as well as many famous sires throughout the history of Egyptian breeding. Ghazieh: Born c. 1850, Ghazieh was believed to be obtained from Ibn Sudan, originator of the Saqlawi Jedran of Ibn Sudan strain. She was taken to the stud of Abbas Pasha I prior to Ghazieh is the oldest dam line in straight Egyptian breeding. She is represented in female line from 2 daughters of the Ali Pasha Sherif mare Ghazala. These are Radia, dam of Zareefa/Zarifa at Inshass and Bint Radia at the R.A.S., and Serra, dam of Mr. Babson s US import Bint Serra. This is also the dam line of famous sires Shahloul and as well as the female line of the great producing Zaafarana. Roga El Beda: Born c. 1882, Roga El Beda was bred by Ali Pasha Sherif. Her strain is Saqlawi Jidran. Information in the Raswan Index seemed to link Roga s line to Ghazieh, however Lady Anne Blunt s writing and later DNA research confirms that Roga El Beda is not the same line as Ghazieh and this distinction has been noted for decades now. This dam line is very large and contemporary to the El Dahma line in celebrity, most famous for the daughters of the immortal Moniet El Nefous, but also has branches from Inshass via Ragaa and in the U.S. via the Egyptian import Saema. Hind: [Not to be confused with the dam of Yosreia] Born in 1942, Hind was gifted to the Royal Inshass Stud of King Farouk by King Aziz Ibn Saud in Her sire is Obeyan El Safi who also sired Nafaa on the previous page. Her dam is a Saklawieh. The female line from Hind is smaller but has found celebrity in the show ring via descendants of her granddaughters, Bint Hanaa and Anzar both sired by El Sareei. Bint Hanaa came to the U.S. while Anzar spent most of her life in Egypt producing for Al Badeia Stud then later coming to the U.S. as an aged mare renamed AK Anzar. Mabrouka: [Not to be confused with the dam of Morafic] Born in 1930 Mabrouka was gifted to the Royal Inshass Stud of King Farouk by King Aziz Ibn Saud in Like Hind previously mentioned, Mabrouka is of the Saklawi strain. Having five producing granddaughters has allowed her family to be larger than Hind but both families are still only of moderate size though well regarded. Stallions from Mabrouka s line have served on several continents as well.

5 Bint Barakat: Born 1941, Bint Barakat was bred by Abdul Hamid El Tahawi of the Tahawi Bedouin. Her sire is Ibn Barakat and her dam is Bint Saklawiyah Jidraniyah. She is Saklawi Jidran by strain. While the better part of her family is found in Egypt, two mares of this line came to the U.S., Fayza (x Marshall II) and Noor (x Mourad) and have established the female line in North America. El Shahbaa: The Inshass Herdbook indicates that El Shahbaa was a 1925 grey mare purchased from El Hag Mohamed Ibrahim in Her sire is given as El i El Nasri and her dam is given as El Obeya Om Geris (Jurays). The strain of this line is Abayyan Om Jurays and is now a famous family on the international scene most notably for the dam line of Magidaa and Hanan, lines of global influence. The celebrity of this line is now comparable to the El Dahma and Roga El Beda lines. Karima [Kareema]: The date of birth of Karima is not recorded. Her sire is recorded as Dahman and her dam is recorded as Obeya. Her daughter Bint Karima, born 1935, was obtained by the Royal Inshass Stud from the Kafr Ibrash Farm owned by Queen Nazli, the mother of King Farouk, and her brother Sherif Pasha Sabri. Bint Karima s sire Rasheed was already owned by Inshass in 1933, which shows a relationship between these two stud farms, and all of Rasheed s other foals are out of Inshass mares. Some have speculated that Obeya is to be taken as Abayyan so some sources attribute the Abayyan strain to Karima s line. Regardless, Bint Karima is the progenitor of Karima s line in Egyptian breeding. Though quite rare, this line continues in Europe, North America and Egypt and it is the female line of the beautiful Tuhotmos daughter Hania. Folla: Born 1942, Folla was bred by Abdul Hamid El Tahawi of the Tahawi Bedouin. Her sire is Ibn Barakat and her dam is a Shuweymah Sabbah of the Tahawi tribe. She is Shuweymah Sabbah by strain, a very old and respected strain once collected by Abbas Pasha. Folla is unique in that she is the only dam line source of this strain in straight Egyptian breeding. Folla is the third Tahawi foundation mare of the stud and is renowned for both stallions and mares. Though somewhat rare, this line is found in Europe, North America, South America, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Arabian Gulf, and in Egypt. This is by no means a full essay on the subject of the Strains and Families of straight Egyptian horses. Readers are encouraged to learn from a wide variety of resources inclucing the Pyramid Society s Reference Handbook Volume 12 [with Volume 13 soon to be produced in 2017]. Readers are also encouraged to explore many other interesting resources on this subject by searching for good books on the internet. On the following pages are some representative pedigrees of mare branches that have carried forward the strains and families of the above mentioned seventeen root mares of straight Egyptian breeding. These following mare pedigrees are not necessarily the only mares representing the root mares but are given as ancestral pedigree examples for the first branches from the roots of the tail female lines which have existing females today. Some of these have become large and popular families while others are increasingly rare. With only 66 original named desert bred horses that make up the total genetic base of straight Egyptian breeding today, the breed population cannot afford to lose any links to the founding horses.
