She's a Dahman Shahwan with tail female through *Bint Bint Sabbah of the Babson importation.

Your request illustrates the need to know as much as you can about your horses so if sales opportunities present themselves you can take advantage immediately. Most European and Middle Eastern buyers are very interested in family strains as there is more traditional breeding than in the US, where strains seem to be of less importance these days than show wins. Knowledge is the most powerful marketing tool you will ever use.

You could have found this info in several of Judi Forbis' books on Egyptian Arabian breeding...she did a marvelous one called Henry Babson and the Royal Studs of Egypt. Several of her books are out of print but I see them sold on Ebay reasonably often. Judi used your mare's strain extensively in her program-*Ansata Ibn Halima++ is also of this strain.

Thank you very much for the information. I would love to learn more on how to tell strains. Is there a name of one book in particular by that author that I should get to learn how to tell strains or is the one you named "Henry Babson and the Royal Studs of Egypt" the optimal one for me to get? I would be thrilled to gain this new knowledge!
