Members of the Sa'ud family, including their cousins, the Ibn Jiluwis have provided a large number of Al Khamsa foundation horses in addition to Jellabiet Feysul mentioned above. During the period when Abdul Aziz Ibn Sa'ud was fighting to establish his kingdom, he fought with or against all the tribes in central Arabia. No doubt he obtained many horses during this period. He had family relationships with the Anezeh, from whom he also received horses. One of the King's many wives was of the Ibn Rashid family of the Shammar and at least one other wife was from the Ruala tribe. He and his sons established a number of stud farms in Saudi Arabia in Riyadh and Al Khormah and at other locations. The Ibn Jiluwi stud farm was located in Hassa.

         Albert Harris imported 4 mares which he obtained from Abdul Aziz Ibn Sa'ud in 1931 including *NUFOUD (Kuhaylan Ajuz) and *SAMIRAH (Hamdani Simri). *TURFA, who apparently was a Kuhaylan Ajuz Al Khormah although Raswan believed her to be an Abayyan Al Hurmah, was a gift to the royal family of England and was imported to the US in 1941 by Henry Babson.

         In 1927, Abdul Aziz Ibn Sa'ud presented King Fouad of Egypt with the mare EL KAHILA, a Kuhailan Kurush. In 1945 Fouad's son, King Farouk received the Saqlawi mares, HIND, and MABROUKA, and the Kuhaylan mare, NAFAA, as gifts from Ibn Sa'ud. All of these were incorporated into the Inshass Stud of Egypt.

         During the oil years, Americans working in connection with ARAMCO acquired a large number of horses from the Saud royal studs, including *AL-OBAYYAH, an Abayyan, imported in 1962 by D Chastain. S Roach imported *AMIRAA and *RUDANN, both Hamdanis in 1960 along with *TAAMRI mentioned above under the Wuld Sulayman.

         *SINDIDAH, a Hamdani from the Saud Royal stud, was imported 1966 by M Johnson, and later was owned by C Cobb who also imported *JALAM AL UBAYAN, and Abayyan bred by Ibn Jiluwi. (*MUHRAA, another Abayyan from Ibn Jiluwi was imported 1950 by Esther Ames.)

         *MUNIFAN and *MUNIFEH (both Kuhaylans) were imported in 1947 by G O'Brien. These two were bred by the members of the Sa'ud family but were obtained by O'Brien from Ibn Jiluwi.

Thanks to Carol Schulz for the photo of *Turfa; to Al Morris for the photos of *Al Obayyah, *Jalam Al Ubayan and *Sindidah; Peter Clarke for the photo of *Munifan.

         A 1933 grey mare bred by the Sa'ud Royal Studs imported in 1937 to England as a gift to the royal family, imported to Canada ca. 1941, and imported in 1941 to the U.S.A. by Henry Babson. Also called Tarfa.

         NOTES: According to England's Arab Horse Society Stud Book Vol. 6 (1944), *Turfa's sire was an Abayyan-Al Hurmah and her dam was a Kuhaylat- Khormah. Al Khormah is not a listed substrain of the Kuhaylan, but was a town where one of the studs of the Sa'udi royal family was located. [Lists of strains and substrains may be found in several references, including: Roger Upton's Gleanings from the Desert of Arabia, part 3 chapter 1, the Blunts' Bedouin Tribes of the Euphrates, fold-our chart (with James Skene) and W.R.Brown's The Horse of the Desert, Chapter 4 (with Carl Raswan)]

         *Turfa's first registered owner was listed as Brig. Gen. W.H.Anderson, who was Executive Secretary of the Arab Horse Society at the time. Her second owner was listed as H.B.Babson. Her Certificate of Transfer from Anderson to Babson, dated November 10, 1941, which is on file at the AHR, agrees with the sire information, and gives her dam as a Kuhaylat-Ajuz Al Khorma.

         According to Raswan's Index entry #10601, *Turfa's dam was an Abayyah-Al Hurmah of Ibn Musamih of the Al Hamrah-Ajman, as was her sire.

         NOTES: The above information is from the Inshass Original Herd Book, horse #51. Carl Raswan's Index has no entry for this mare.

The 1932 Hind shown by Raswan conflicts with Egyptian stud book records.
