SAKLAWI I C, ARABIAN, 1886
| Color: gr
RAS
A Saqlawi Jidran of Ali Pasha Sharif, Egypt. Also called Saqlawi El Kebir El Azrak.
NOTES: The above information is from the pedigree on p12a of the RAS History and the certified 1932 RAS pedigrees for *Bint Saada and *Bint Bint Sabbah. An early handwritten herd book of Prince Mohamed Aly\\\\\\\'s Manial Stud describes the sire of Saklawi II as a \\\\Sacklawi of the stud of Prince Ahmed. Gift to H.H. the Khedive Abbas II, descendant of horses from Abbas I.\\\\
Lady Anne Blunt refers to at least two stallions as old grey Saqlawis from Ali Pasha Sharif. At Prince Ahmad Pasha Kamal\\\\\\\'s stud, she describes a mare as sired by \\\\the white Seglawi from Ali Pasha Sherif (an old horse, 18 years) still here.\\\\ This horse would have been foaled c1873 [J&C 4.11.1891]. Later, she notes that Prince Ahmad has offered them the use of \\\\the old white Seglawi (Sudan).\\\\ [J&C 1.17.1893]. Eleven years later, again at Prince Ahmed\\\\\\\'s stables and describing Sabbah, she says \\\\Managhi Ibn Sbeyel... his sire the old Seglawi Jedran from Ali Pasha Sherif belonging to Ahmed Pasha (now dead).\\\\ This refers to the stallion having died, as Prince Ahmad did not die until 1907 [J&C 3.9.1904].
Lady Anne describes what must be another horse in that it is still living in 1909-\\\\the old Seglawi Jedran Prince Ahmed Pasha had from Ali Pasha Sherif which old (white) horse the Khedive got afterwards from Prince Ahmed and has now pensioned off in his Boulak stables.\\\\ [J&C 11.27.1909] The stallion described first would have been 36 by 1909 and was evidently dead by 1904. Lady Anne does not refer to these horses as either desert-bred and imported to Egypt or bred in Egypt, merely as from Ali Pasha Sharif.
Entry #8980 in the Raswan Index shows a birthdate of 1886 and says that Saklawi I (APS) was bred by the Ruwalah and was imported to Egypt. In entry #4972, Raswan shows Saklawi I as by a Saqlawi Jidran stallion named Khalil.
It is not possible to say whether the first horse described by Lady Anne Blunt is sire of all five of the foals attributed to Saklawi I, whether the Raswan Index is correct in attributing all five of these foals to a single horse or whether more than one horse is represented as a sire in this list. It is also not possible to say whether the Raswan-described 1886 grey from the Ruwalah is the second horse, described by Lady Anne Blunt as pensioned by the Khedive in 1909, or another horse entirely.
The name \\\\Saklawi El Kebir El Azrak\\\\ merely means the old grey Saqlawi, and could have been used to refer to a number of horses.
Parentage not traced. Female line: A SAQLAWI-JIDRANIYAH. Sheykh Obeyd, Bred by Ali Pasza Sherif stock.
Not bred by APS but acquired by him from the Roala. The horses proper name was Saklawi Jidrani el Azak el Khebir. Source for this info The Arabian Horse Families of Egypt, Colin Pearson & Kees Mol.
