1782 the Al Khalifa family, who were derived from
a branch of the Anazeh, settled on the island of Bahrain. They brought
some horses with them and over the past two hundred years have acquired
many more from the various tribes. There has also been an extensive interchange
of horses with members of the extended Sa'ud family. (Horses coming from
the Al Khalifas have been counted as Al Khamsa Foundation horses, as are
those from the Sa'ud and Jiluwi families, even though these families are
not "tribes", nor migratory. JELLABEIT FEYSUL,
a Kuhaylan Jellabiet was imported into Egypt or Abbas Pasha in about 1846.
She was acquired from Feysul Ibn Turki As-Sa'ud (grandfather of the first
king of Saudi Arabia), who had obtained her from Muhammed Ibn Al Khalifa,
who may have bred her or obtained her from the Atayban tribe. (Lady Anne
Blunt and Raswan both thought she originated with the Ajman tribe.) Other
Egyptian foundation horses from the Al Khalifas of Bahrain include JATHEMA
and MISKAH, both also Kuhaylan Jellabiets for Abbas
Pasha. BINT EL BAHREYN,
a Dahman Shahwan was imported for Khedive Abbas, II in 1903. The mare *SAWANNAH,
a Dahamn, was obtained from the Al Khalifa stud and imported to the U.S.A.
by K.M. Kelly in 1954.
