NOTE: Someone wrote on this site that Sabab was approved as a Morgan sire. That isn't accurate. The fact is that in the early 1930's the Morgan breed appeared to be disappearing. (EXAMPLE: Only about one hundred Morgan foals were registered in one of those years.) As a survival strategy, the Morgan organization adopted a temporary rule which allowed a foal with only one registered Morgan parent to be registered as a Morgan. The rule provided that an X had to appear beside the registration number of such foals. That's how Sabab came to appear on the registration documents of some Morgans. It's obvious that he was a good stallion, but his appearance on Morgan pedigrees had nothing to do with an approval by the Morgan organization. That temporary rule was abolished about 1947.

Seems that Elliot Roosevelt, TX used him first bred horses foaled 1943-1944?
