Davenport FAQs: An 1899 chestnut Saqlawi Al Abd mare of Ibn Mhayd of the Fid\'an Anezeh tribe, sired by a Dahman (Khumayis). She was known as \'the great War Mare\'. Davenport wrote:\'But after all you have not come here to see men. Better than than you have come to see horses, and I would be selfish if I kept you longer from seeing the greatest mare of our country--the war mare of the Great Hashem Bey--the mare from whose back he killed, among others, his most distinguished enemy.\' ..a present to him from the Great Sheikh, who had just been his guest; that in their religious custom no present could equal her; nothing but a gift from Allah, himself, could surpass her. ...The war mare, the present from the Supreme Ruler, was the chestnut. She seemed to be fretting to get out of the only town she had ever been in. In her highly carried tail, I saw some blue beads tied gracefully in her hair. ... Her name they told me was Wadduda, meaning love; that she was a Seglawie Al Abed, seven years old and had been the favorite war mare of Hashem Bey for four years. She didn\'t like the town, she wanted to go--and those who told me pointed to the desert.
