loo The Arab Horse 



was no longer to be had even for large 

 sums of money, and that they are always 

 chestnuts, of a size so much above the 

 other Arab families that these others are 

 merely '' pony xA^rabs." 



Upton says of them (Gleanings p. 



321): 



*'The Manakhi appeared to us a 

 favourite strain, for both horses and mares 

 of this family are to be found in most 

 tribes of the Badaween; and we thought, 

 with the exception of Keheilet Ajuz, 

 there were more horses and mares among 

 the Anazah, certainly among the Sabaah, 

 of the Manakhi family than any other." 



The Blunts, four years after Upton, 

 had no difficulty in securing several 

 animals of the Manakhi family, which 

 they brought with them to the Crabbet 

 Arabian Stud. Of their colour and size 

 Upton remarks (Gleanings p. 321): 



" There was a nice clean-made, lengthy, 

 useful, and racing-like dark grey three 

 year old filly of the Manakhi Hedruj 

 family which belonged to Shaykh Jedaan
