EL SBAA  C, ARABIAN, 1920
| Color: ch
Height: 1.47m
SBFAR*5465
A French government commission led by M. Rieu de Madron purchased this Asil Ma’anaghi Sbayli stallion straight from the desert in 1925. El Sbaa stood at the Stud of Pompadour, France, but he was ill suited for its humid climate, so he developed a form of asthma and died a few years later.
He left too few offspring behind, including the stallions Nemer (out of Ninon), Khartoum (out of Kioumi), Meat (out of Medea) and Matuvu (out of Manon). Nemer was exported to Poland, and Khartoum to Romania, where they both started famous racing lines that endure to this day (although not in Asil form). Meat was retained for the Stud of Pompadour, where he took over from his sire, and Matuvu was sent to the stallion depot of Blois, where only a handful Arabian horse breeders used him.
