Mesaoud, an Arabian, with verifiable lineage tracing to the Bedouin of the desert. Al Khamsa organization He was a genetics, and he is thought to be a primary source for that coloration when it appears in Arabians today. The Blunts purchased Mesaoud in protracted negotiations with the aging Ali Pasha Sherif during 1888-1889.Wentworth, Judith Anne Dorothea Blunt-Lytton. ''The Authentic Arabian Horse,'' 3rd ed. George Allen & Unwin Ltd., 1979. http://www.panix.com/~bam/mesaoud.htm "Mesaoud" They finally completed the purchase of him as a two year old, along with the stallion Merzuk and the mare Khatila. In the two year period before being shipped to England, he ran in the Cairo Eclipse Stakes at Ghezireh, which covered a distance of over a mile and a half. Victim of a bad start, he finished seventh out of ten horses. In England, Mesaoud was used both as a riding horse and as a sire, with over 100 known purebred Arabian offspring recorded.http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/index.php?h=mesaoud&g=5&query_type=progeny&search_bar=progeny&done=y&inbred=Standard&x2=n&username=&password=&x=0&y=0 Progeny list for Mesaoud from allbreedpedigree.com He was also shown in 1896, 1897, and 1898 at the Crystal Palace Horse Show, taking first place each time. Over time, his bloodline became a part of nearly every breedable mare at Crabbet, and thus he could not be used at the stud without the risk of Inbreeding Therefore, Mesaoud was eventually sold to Wladislas Kliniewski for 240 guineas in July, 1903, and shortly thereafter was exported to Russia , where he lived for the remainder of his life. One of his most famous sons was Astraled , who sired a number of foals in England before being imported to the United States by W.R. Brown. One of Mesaoud's descendants, the Mare Rissalma, was imported by the Tersk stud of the former Soviet Union in 1936 and produced the famous Russian-bred stallion Priboj . His grandson, the Astraled son Sotamm, was sold to Egypt, thus returning the Mesaoud bloodline to its nation of origin. Sotamm's great-grandson Nazeer is one of the most famous horses in the "Egyptian" line of pedigrees. Mesaoud's descendants are found worldwide and he appears in the pedigree of over 90% of all Arabian horses in the world today[http://www.arabdatasource.com/ Arabian Datasource] BLOODLINES
