Bloodline Information from the Al Khamsa Roster

An 'Ubayyan Sharrak bred by the 'Anazah, by a Kuhaylan Ajuz out of an 'Ubayyah Sharrakiyah.

Additional Notes:

NOTES: The above information is from *Deyr's entry in the 1909 Arabian Horse Club stud book. The Davenport 1909 catalog adds that *Deyr was bred by Ibn al-Rashid of Deyr.
Raswan Index entry #2000 shows the same information as the Davenport catalog, with the following elaborations: by a Kuhaylan Ajuz of Ibn Tamri of the Saba'ah 'Anazah out of an 'Ubayyah Sharrakiyah of Ibn Ajlan of the al-Hanatish of the Fid'an 'Anazah. *Deyr's hujjah is not known to have been preserved. It appears that some information (names of those sealing the document) from the hujjah of *Simri-a Hamdani Simri stallion imported by Davenport from the Ruwalah, later gelded and never registered-was used in preparing the registration entry of *Deyr."

🐎 Biography

*Deyr is one of the original imports, an important sire in all American Arabian horse breeding. First imported by Homer Davenport, the political cartoonist, then used at Hingham Stock Farm where he sired 17 of his foals (1 foal bred by C.D. Clark, Indio, CA in 1925). At age 25, *Deyr was purchased by WK Kellogg where he retired and passed away shortly after, without siring any foals there.

There's a lot more to say about this important piece of our history, so I will return to add more.
