THE
SAQLAWI STRAIN
Davenport Saqlawis trace in tail-female
through the mare Saleefy 70 to *Urfah 40, perhaps the most important mare
in the importation. *Urfah is registered as of the Jidran substrain, but
recent translations of her huja, or desert documentation, indicated
that she was of the al 'Abd substrain.
The Saqlawi strain is noted for an
air of elegance, relatively flat musculature in some individuals, upright
neck carriage, and a well-developed forehand. Davenport Saqlawi heads tend
to have the most prominent part of the facial profile (jibbah) placed
somewhjat lower than the Kuhaylans, causing the "dished" aspect
of the profile to be further below the eyes and thus more apparent. Hind
leg structure of the Saqlawis as viewed from the side may be somewhat straighter
than that of the Kuhaylans, and when viewed from the rear the hocks may
be a little closer together.
Some Davenport Saqlawis are textbook examples of Saqlawi type. However,
all Davenport Saqlawis have strong Kuhaylan pedigree elements, with the
result that many of them have features also associated with Davenport Kuhaylan
breeding, resulting in a vary attractive intermediate horse which still
retains overall Saqlawi character.
Horses of the Saqlawi strain but in the non-Tripoli breeding group
are shown later as part of the non- Tripoli group, of which they are also
a major component.

ADRIENNE
CF is a chestnut 1985 mare bred one generation in strain
and substrain. She has a blaze, left fore and right rear socks, and is
slightly large than our average. There is a concentrated group of roan
hairs (not a spot) about four inches across on her left side. She is a
deep-bodied attractive mare with a nice head and a strong croup. She is
the dam of three lovely fillies, including Lycia CF in 1996 (see page 9)
and a dandy 1998 Trilogy filly, shown below left.
