Hi, Morafiq,

Fashai is sadly deceased--last owned by the Al Falah Stud of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia--I understand they loved and valued her very much. I have Fashai's younger full sister, Regal Moniet CAHR. I have a few informal photos of Regal Moniet on my website (www.AlSahraArabians.com). She is an absolute gem! We also have a filly and colt from her, and she is in foal again for 2010 to our Imperial Madheen son, MB Ibn Sehnab. We would welcome your visit, should you ever wish to see Regal Moniet--or any of her offspring!

I can't get photos to upload, or I would post some photos of Regal Moniet here!

Hi Marwan,

I purchased Fashai 6 or 7 years ago prior to her exportation to Saudi. Im disappointed to learn of her passing. She was a very regal mare, more classic than extreme in type in my opinion. She had great bone and body, was very laid back and content in terms of personality. We bred her to Faahim and my understanding is the foal was a very nice filly, though I never saw photos. Her first filly, who I believe was also by Faahim, was a knockout as a weanling, but I have no knowledge of her since that time. For me, Fashai was typical of the wonderful broodmares that Prince Fa was known to sire. Classic in type, full bodied, well balanced, and excellent producers. She was also lightly flea bitten, which I assume increased with time. Im sure I have some photos around somewhere. Her pedigree, of course speaks for itself. If I can answer any further questions, please let me know.

Best regards,

Hi, Marwan and Brock,

Here are a few very informal photos of Fashai's sister, and one of her filly (by MB Ibn Sehnab). This mare is one of our treaures--she is my husband's pet and favorite as well. We agree--the pedigree speaks for itself.

Best regards,

Sue Watson

Hi, Marwan and Brock,

I have just discovered that a friend of mine has some good photos of Fashai!

Darlene Cruit, who arranged Fashai's sale to Brock and then later arranged Fashai's sale for Brock to Al Fala Stud in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, had Fashai at her farm for a period of time, and took some great photos of her. So, if either of you are interested in obtaining these photos, you could contact Darlene at her email: 4kuhaylan@prodigy.net. I just spoke to Darlene, and just obtained this information, and she would be happy to provide the photos to you .

Best regards,

Sue

Hello Sue,

I visited your website and noticed a reference to the *Marroufa line: "Whether you call this strain Kuhaylah Jellebiyah or Saklawiyah Jedraniya..."

Could you explain that to me? I have two mares of the *Marroufa damline that I dearly love and so I'm intrigued about your statement.

Thanks in advance...

Linda

Hi, Linda,

it is my understanding that Michael Bowling conducted research to show that the mare Bint Yemama (Saklawi I x Yemama) of Prince Mohammed Ali is the maternal half-sister of the famous Mesaoud, who was a Saqlawi Jedran of Ibn Sudan bought by Lady Anne Blunt from Ali Pasha Sharif. Bowling analyzed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA is passed maternally) to prove that the descendants of Bint Yemama and those of Bint Helwa, a Saklawiyah Jedraniyah closely related to Mesaoud, share the same tail female line, and are therefore Saklawi. It is also my understanding that Bowling used the same method to show that the true descendants of Jellabiet Feysul through Makbula have different mtDNA, which demonstrate that they have a different tail female line (Jellabi) than the Bint Yemama line.

I am not sure whether Bowling's research was ever repeated (usually another researcher repeats the research to provide independent verification). To muddy the waters further, many early breeders bred the Jellabi and Saklawi horeses together, to produce beautiful horses. So, this Jellabi line may in fact be Saklawi, if Bowling's research is correct. I do not support one theory over another on this strain designation. I just want to inform regarding Bowling's research on this subject. Whether Saklawi or Jellabi--this is still a beautiful line of horses.

Hope this makes some sense!

Best regards,

Sue

So, hopefully,
