Plate I · Sahwat Al Khalediah

Every Asil has its own story.

Our catalogue introduces each horse through portrait photography, verified identity and documented lineage — one profile at a time.

The marks of the Asil

The Bedouin read a horse the way one reads a line of poetry: the kohl-dark eye, the arch of the neck, the proud carriage. These are the marks of the Asil.

Details from a single portrait. Further photography is in preparation.

Lineage, the record of the Asil.

Among the Bedouin, a horse's lineage was carried in memory and recited generation by generation. Each ABAN profile carries its pedigree as it is recorded — sire, dam and those behind them. Nothing added, nothing assumed.

The pedigree format. Names appear only with each verified profile.

Goodness is bound to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection.
