and consume a great number of horses. They have 

 very fine horses, and some of these must sometimes fall 

 into other hands ; their consumption in horseflesh is 

 so great that they often have to buy from other tribes. 

 The Roala and Ibu Haddal Anezah are well-horsed 

 tribes ; but of all, the Sebaa Anezah is the tribe for 

 horses, and of their seven subdivisions the Gomassa 

 have the reputation of possessing the finest horses in 

 the world. The Seglawi Jedran is found in its greatest 

 perfection among the Gomassa. The Fedan Anezah 

 possess also two families. The Gomassa have also 

 the best Abeyans and the best Maneghi : this latter 

 a first-class subdivision of the Keheilan. 



Although horses of equal beauty and perfection are 

 to be found in all five families, the Seglawi Jedran may 

 be the favourite among Bedouin, and, perhaps, the most 

 famous.
