The
Al Hamdanieh strain, most favoured by the Al-Saud family for
centuries, has also been present in Bahrain for generations.
The Hamdanieh in the Royal Stud are represented by three mares of
different family lines of the strain.
Hamdanieh of the old Bahrain line, Hamdanieh Um Shamy from the
Shaikh of Kuwait’s line and Hamdanieh Johara of the Al-Saud line.
The mares Hamdanieh Jumaanah 336, Hamdanieh Newaahil 409 and
Hamdanieh Dhathi 424 are direct descendants of these three mares
respectively and are the mainstay of this favourite strain today.
There was a fourth mare, Hamdanieh Fatis 202 bred at Al Kharj in
Saudi Arabia. She was brought to Bahrain in the early nineteen
sixties after the relocation of the Saudi Royal Stud in the
fifties. She has no female descendants but was the dam Hamdaany 71
(foaled 1962 died 1975) who served at stud and was the last male
offspring of the famous Jellaby Althaani (Speckled). |
