Horses

Part of the Simonson Collection of Dale Simonson and his son John.

The stallion Enzahi at the Royal Agricultural Society, Egypt. A 1935 grey stallion by the desert bred stallion Nabras out of Fardous (Kazmeen x Bint Obeya). Photo taken by Dr. Robert Buchanan in 1946.

The original photographs are in an old photo album, that once belonged to Mr. A.D. Bolhuis, an Arab horse breeder active in the Netherlands before and just after WW2. His widow gave the album in 1984 to the then secretary of the Dutch Arab Horse Society. The album is now owned by his widow, Mrs. C. van der Velden.

The photographs may have been taken by the then Dutch consul in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Dr. Adriaanse, who was an Arab horse devotee, but that is just a guess. In the album the horses appeared only under their strain names, not their actual names. What I think is clear from the photographs, is that they were taken in Saudi Arabia, possibly just before the transport from Jeddah to the United Kingdom. — Kees Mol

This photo of the Polish mare Kasztelanka in Cuba was purchased on eBay. The back of the image has her name, typed, and Janow Padlowski, and a stamp dated May 25, 1949.

Unidentified photo given by Davenport family member Nancy Rose to Craver Farms. Process of elimination indicates that Mannaky Jr #292 (1895–1907 chestnut stallion) is the horse in the photo. He was by *Mannaky #294 out of *Galfia #255, both imported by the Hamidie Society in 1893.
