Preserving Al Khamsa/Sahand Arabians
The Arabian mare Sahanad was the last Straight Davenport mare that was tail-female to the infamous War Mare *Wadduda. *Wadduda was a prized mare of Homer Davenport and was given to him as a gift from the Bediouns. A high honor I am sure as she was a prized war mare that fought many battle including going over 100 miles with an injured fetlock in just 11 hours. *Wadduda was known for her athletic ability, type, loyalty and beauty. All aspects passed on through her get. Sahanad herself was a lovely mare in black but what was most special about this mare was her disposition. She never seemed to tire of people and was the easiest to handle according to her owners over the years. She passed that on through several generations and you tend to just know a Sahanad horse when you meet them.
My experience with these bloodlines are that they are hardy, beautiful and the most true “in your tent” horses you will ever find. You can go into my pasture and be surrounded in less than a minute by these horses wanting to give love and be loved. It is truly amazing how much they become part of the family.
What we offer.
While we are very passionate about these bloodlines we are also realistic in our endeavors. At this time we try to breed 1 or 2 quality foals a year. This year we will have 1 born in September and we do not have any mares in foal for next season. We are planning on training and getting the young mares under saddle and out in the World to be shown off before we get down to breeding. We do offer stallion services at live cover. We are located in the beautiful Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia on over 100 acres of pasture and woodland.
