MAHSUSE. Bay mare. 1906. Incorporated into Turkish State Studs from the Palace Stables. Translation of Hojja.
In the Name of God the most Gracious, Dispenser of Grace, unto him alone do we turn for aid. All praise is due to Him who created all creatures and all people, and all thanks is due to Him who gave the people good horses, and our prayers on Mohammed by whom sinners seek intersection and on whom the holy book (Qur’an) was bestowed from on high. ‘Hence, make ready against them whatever force and tethering of horses you are able to muster, so that you may deter thereby the enemies of God.’ And our prayers upon the family of Mohammed and also his companions who established the foundations of the faith by their swords, from the backs of their victorious horses. For our Lord hallowed and sublimely exalted said ‘oh, by the chargers than run panting, sparks of fire striking, rushing to attack at dawn thereby raising clouds of dust, thereby storming unseen into any host’.
Therefore the bay mare named ‘Mahsuse’ is four years old. She has a stripe between her eyes ending at her bottom lip. She has a white stocking on her left foreleg and white on the left hindleg reaching to the top of the joints. On her back there are white spots. Her Dam is Ma’anaghieh, the mare of Darwiesh Haji Mousa from Alqarmaniah village. Her Sire is the horse of Abdulmohsen, the Sheikh of the Shammar, and he is a Saglawi who can breed in the darkness of the nights. We swear to Allah that her pedigree originates from the horses of the Arab masters of breeding and riding who are famed all over the world who carried the holy words. ‘And we subjected them to men so that some of them they may use for riding and some of them they may eat’.
We ask Allah Almighty to bless her offspring and to protect her rider from every harm, and to place happiness on her forehead and goodness, with the honour of the Master of the Messengers, Mohammed.
Written on the 12th day of the good month of Satar in the year of 1,331 from the day of hijr of the last prophet, Mohammed.
