*ABEYAH


(DB x DB)
AHR*39
Bay mare
Foaled 1896
Imported by Homer Davenport in 1906


"Abeyah, a bay Abayyah-Sharrakiyah of the Shammar, was sired by an Abayyan Sharrak. She came from Sheikh Farris Al Jerba, blood brother of Wilfrid Blunt, and was noted both for her speed and for her remarkably beautiful head. Dam of *Haffia by a Hamdani Simri.

Davenport wrote: "This mare's head was considered by Bedouins the most perfect of the Anezeh. ... with the greatest jibbah or forehead, I ever saw. ... She had been taken in war by the Anezeh, from the Shammar, across the Euphrates, and her pedigree bore the last seal of Sheikh Faris, the great enemy of the Anezeh, who had been dead two years. She was small, not more than fourteen hands two inches high, but I never saw such beautiful hind quarters and back tendons on anything in horse flesh. ... She was considered among the Anezeh as their greatest race mare..."

*Abeyah, was considered by Hashem Bey, the Skeykh of all the Anazeh, to have the most rarely beautiful head in the desert. She was distinguished for speed, and though small, was a marvel of stamina and weight carrying ability. She was known to carry 300 pounds a distance of 35 miles over rough ground in 4 hours with the sun registering 135.
