Seerah Of Sahanad

Sahanad as follows: "The foundation mare from which Sahanad traces is *Wadduda born in 1899. The most famous mare of the Davenport importation and a renowned war mare, she had the scars of battle as proof. *Wadduda's daughter Aared (sired by *Obeyran of the Hamidie importation), produced Sedjur (x *Hamrah) who through her daughter Bint Sedjur and granddaughter Bint Sahara have left one of the most outstanding lines in show ring history. Aared's granddaughter Jadur (Jadaan x Sedjur) produced Sahabet who is the dam of Sahanad. "Sahanad's first 7 foals were not by Al Khamsa sires and also her last foal in 1984. Sahanad's first Al Khamsa daughter is Aziza Serr Anadah owned by Diane Acox, who was foaled in 1973, a black mare by *Adhem, a black stallion imported from Egypt by the highly regarded Alaa El Din. Through 1989 Aziza Serr Anadah has produced 11 foals(5 black) including 4 daughters who have all produced foals themselves two of which are triple Sahanad! They are found throughout the U.S. from California, Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Minnesota, to Illinois and elsewhere." "As regards the 'missing' Sahanad daughter, Sahanade she was literally found in the deep woods of Oregon and had produced no foals by the age of seven. Sahanade was foaled in 1978 by *Adhem x Sahanad and she was Sahanad's first Al Khamsa daughter, Aziza Serr Anadah." "Sahanade came here to Idaho in 1985 and was bred to the black/bay straight Egyptian stallion Moss Hill Karim (Sar Fadl Halim x Sar Fa Mora) resulting in the 1986 black filly, Sahanadah (a show champion). In 1987 Sahanade produced another filly, the chestnut Bint Bint Sahanad (lst place winner), by the imported straight Egyptian stallion *Hatef(*Sultann x Ibtsam) and in 1988 Sahanade produced another filly, the chestnut colt Ibn Bint Adhem. Sahanade is now owned by Wil and Leslie Van Hook of Nampa, Idaho who are justifiably proud of her." With her late start, Sahanade has some way to go to catch up with her prolific sister Aziza Serr Anadah, but she has made an excellent start and has helped to assure a solid Al Khamsa continuation of the tail female line of a very worthy mare, Sahanad.
