*EGP #40 Davenport FAQs: *Hadba, AHRC #43 An 1899 Hadbah-Inzihiyah of Ibn Hazim by a Shuwayman-Sabbah of Ibn Sa\'dun of the Muntifiq, out of a Hadbah- Inzihiyah of Ibn Hazim of the Sinjara-Shammar. Davenport writes: \"...we passed an encampment of the Sebaa Anezeh, a brown mare, with a filly colt not more than fifteen days old at her side, was shown to us. Hafez was expecially anxious that i should see this filly, as it was sired by the horse I was riding (the Maneghi Sbeyel), and was his double over again, without a single a white hair and with the same peculiar head. She was a dainty little thing as she played round her mother... They were of the family of Hadban Enzekhi, the first we had seen in the desert, and I was glad of the opportunity to buy them ... The mother was a most showy animal, with remarkable shoulders and hips, and the most gracful neck and tail carriage. As the Bedouin owner galloped her here and there over the rocks to show her off, she was beautiful sight. ... Her former owner followed us to Aleppo and then offered us sixty-five pounds Turkish for the colt <*Enzahi 46>, which was then twenty days old. But I kept it.\"
