Welcome New Davenport Owners

by

Jeannie and Larry Miller, Reed City, Michigan are
the proud new owners of their first Davenport!

Rubato CF recently moved from Cravers Farm in Illinois to Michigan. Jeannie (an endurance
rider) is already leading "Rowdy" down trails,
and crossing creeks, etc.

Knowing Larry and Jeannnie as I have for years,
we all should give them a hearty welcome to our
band of minstrels!

Their e-mail address, in case you'd like to correspond with them personally is
jcmiller@jackpine.com

Big Horn Ride

by

My daughter Amy and her 1/2 Davenport Fakher El
Alamein (Valentino) did the Big Horn ride 2
years ago (all the way from Michigan). We still
show off photos from the ride on our livingroom
wall - the scenery around Shell, WY is SO
beautiful. I wish I had a couple Davenports
ready to go, but we lost Demitasse in November
and Artemisia CF isn't ready for a 50 (or 100
mile ride for that matter). She's plodding along
this year on 25 mile endurance rides instead.

Hope to get up there and ride soon, though.

Davenports in the Inland Northwest

by

Are there any? I have two mares, one is about 1/4 Davenport, the other about 1/8. I have looked at breeding one or the other back to a Davenport stallion, but I haven't seen any in the "neighborhood". I am particularly interested in breeding for endurance traits, so I was pleased to see the posts about Davenports and endurance riding. Tell me what you can....

How far inland are you talking about? We are in Dallas, Oregon - just 15 miles West of Salem & 1-5.

We (daughter Diane, her Dave, and Jim & I) have about 20 Davenports including the stallion, Mandarin - all currently at Diane's.

Why not come to the CMK & Al Khamsa Symposium in August (20 to 22) in Mc Minnville, OR. You can see other Davenports there too. Email me privately for more information.

Good By Gem

by

On Sunday night May 16- 99 we got hit bay a very bad hail storm before we could get all the horses put up. It is with a very very sad heart that I tell you that my beloved Sir Gem LD was lost to us ni that storm.

Though the kindness of her heart Carol Lyons sold me Gem at 6 mos. old in 1986 and Gem has been with me the whole time. I did not breed him to all the Davenport mares I should have and wanted to as I though I had time to do it. I though we would grow old together.

Here is a poem for Gem to help say good by.
"His nostrils will flair, breathing the choice,
and his eyes will glint the ancient knowing.
and, as tail shoots skyward, my horse will gallop into the clouds, from
where he began."

by Jim Oakley

Good by Gem I hope to meet up with you someday.

DavenportArabs@onelist.com

Meaning NO disrespect to this board or the generosity that brought it to be formed, I have started up a listserver over at onelist.com, this one specifically for Davenports (as opposed to the Al K. list some of you may already be on.)

I set the list up as it brings news, discussions, foal announcements and the like directly into your email box immediately (or in digest form, if you prefer.) An archieve is also available to the public, for future reference, and onelist.com also provides each list with public File space, in case someone wants to put up pictures of a horse, pedigree, etc.

I hope all of you will subscribe to this list, even if discussions do not occur, so that information can be spread quickly, should the need arise. The listserver can also accomodate questions and answers, discussions about intended breedings, calendar announcements, etc. Aside from it being devoted to Davenports, it is my hope that this list will be an extension of the community Davenport folks already share, a tool, if you will, as the internet makes our lives easier and reduces phone bills.:)

If one or two of you would be willing to be Moderators, I'd appreciate the help. This shouldn't have any significant duties, as I'm not interested in censorship and all members' postings will be going out to everyone immediately/automatically, unread by the moderators. The only real responsibility in this would be if someone should join the list who's just there to spam us, in which case the Moderator would go to the onelist page and Ban that user, so we don't get any more junk mail out of the proposition.:)

Again, my thanks to all of you wonderful folks who've been so warm and welcoming as I enter the Davenport gang. I hope to see you on the new listserver, and to meet those of you I've not yet had the chance to encounter!

OK, you Davenport Breeders and Part Davenport Breeders it is time again for foals to be born. If you'd like them to be posted FREE on the Davenport Announcement Pages, please contact me by e-mail ( darcycrouse@hotmail.com )with the foal's birthday, color, sire and dam (and a photo if you have one.) If you have a web page and would like the foal's name to be linked to your site, please include that as well.

If you and your Davenport have done well in a preformance or race or even anything else, I plan on adding a new feature this year called "Brags."
The new Brags page will be posted soon.

I also hope to add as a more personal part short stories about the how the Davenport's have touched out lives, so if you have a Davenport or Part-Davenport that you'd like to have featured there please write a short story or poem and send it to me. Pictures can also be included.

Kover Song has four lines to Bint Sahara, 9 to Ferda and 10 to Wadduda.His introductory stud fee is $1,600.00, with a 15% discount to Crabbet, CMK or Davenport or Davenport realted horses.

His dam Gai Chanson is a lovely, lovely Gai Parada daughter and is quadruple inbred Bint Sahara and double Ferzon. She is available for sale or in-house breeding lease now. Visit us & Arabnet Arabian Magazine,but watch out Netscapers- not all java enabled pages are compatible.

He needs more personal attention than his current owner (located near Springfield Ill.) is able to give him. He is not doing well running next to open mares. His price is negotiable to the right home..

Although this leaves all the younger horses out, it is a resource that is a MUST, and the promenent horses now in use are listed.!

King of the Hill

For all of you who have Davenports you will
appreciate this message. We recently broke ground
for a new 40' x 80' barn for our beloved
horses. (We don't spoil them). Anyway, Artemisia
CF and Prelude CF, not to be outdone by Fakher El
ALamein (Valentino) all had to climb to the top
of the dirt pile left by the excavators. (Much
like a scene recently at Cravers, where the fillies were playing King of the Hill) anyway,
what are we to do with these KIDS???

Just a happy post following such a devastating
month in which we lost our beloved Demitasse CF
We are sponsoring an annual award during the
Great Lakes Distance Riding Assn banquet in Feb.
honoring Demitasse. We will award a silver cup
to the horse and/or rider in their first full
year of competition (like she was) who best
epitomizes the true spirit of distance riding--
a good horse going down beautiful trails and
HAVING FUN! We have already picked the 1998
recipient and are looking forward to presenting
this award in February and keeping Demi's memory
alive. She truly loved the trails!

Loss of Demitasse CF

by

I am sad to report that we lost Demitasse CF on
Tuesday morning due to a freak storm/accident.
We lost the roof to our 12 x 20 horse shed in a
blinding storm and it scared her - she ran into
a post (probably never saw it, because I couldn't
see 2 feet in front of me) and broke her shoulder.

She hopped with me out of the pasture into the
breezeway and I had to do the humane thing at that
point and let her sleep. I can't believe she's
gone. She looked me straight in the eye the whole
time she was hopping, and I just kept telling her
what a war mare she was, and my vet was in tears.
He said he had never seen a horse do that for
anyone. I said"stick around , these guys do this
stuff every day"! Anyway, just wanted to let
my wonderful Davenport community know, since I
knew you would all understand.

This wonderful 1/2 Davenport gelding was taken
from the show ring to the distance trails by our

Amy and her wonderful gelding have overcome his
old bowed tendon (before he was ours) and have
now accumulated over 500 miles together on trails.
Valentino, as he is called, placed 2nd in the
Great Lakes Distance RIding Assn this year, as well as top ten in the IAHA Arabian Horse Distance
Riding Association and the Upper Midwest Endurance

They leased the stallion, Salil Ibn Iliad, and fell in love and did not want him to return home, so they are in the process of purchasing him, in addition to purchasing the '97 rose grey colt, MSF Rais (Salil Ibn Iliad x Hart Asheera (Rafeer x Nisrs Asha) . Rais was almost destined to have been bred to Atah after we put the pedigrees together, although we did not know it at the time. Please encourage and wish them luck. Thanks

Welcome Pat & Joey to the wonderful world of part Davenports Arabians! And a special helo to your 'sharps' (For those of you who dont know what a 'sharp' Arabian is - it is one that does not trace to aby of the Blunt desertbreds.... just a play on words but they represent a viable breeding group.
Pat and Joey, I feel especially close to your horses because I am the one who finally got old tarrla at age 18 and in foal to a Raffles bred stallion. At 18 she had not had an Al Khamsa replacement daughter and she was the very last of the *Nufoud tail female line.

At any rate, Tarla produced the grand filly, LD Rubic and now there are about 7 tail female *Nufouds within Al Khamsa.

Please give each of these horses a special pat for me.

Javera Dante

by

Hi Janet,
Long time no see or hear from! And Merry Christmas! Of course, I am always interested in the horses. I still have the pictures of Sport and JAL Maarathena, my two favorites from my 1993 trip through Oregon. So of course I continue to be interested in Dante. I guess I will always try to keep track of those favorites. How is he doing now? Was he sold? And how is Sport? Is the mare in a good home? And last but not least how are you? Our horses are fine. Cricket will be 20 and RHA Kho-Starr will be 11. I more or less rescued a mule (yep that's right) with a friend. She is doing very well with a trainer. No injuries, no mishaps, and she's happy. His name is John Bishop. He is a good, humane trainer. They say if a mule likes you - you've got it made. Well, I'm writing from work, if I want to be off til after New Year's I'd better get going. Hope to hear from you. You don't have a Web Page?

Excerpt

by

From: Chapter 5 - Ghazu: the Raid.
Twilight deepened on the second night as they approached the cliffs and canyons. They passed through a jumble of great rocks and followed a path that alternately narrowed and widened. Ahead, the canyon walls squeezed to a steep-sided cleft, and everyone was forced to ride single file. They seemed to disappear, as the tight darkness engulfed the camels ahead of Saied and Wadduda.
Fear prickled the hair on the back of Saied's neck, and as she moved behind his camel, he called silently to Allah to protect Wadduda from evil spirits. He stared into the shadows and wished he had a rock to cast at ghosts who might lurk there. His camel nosed into the dark canyon, following the rump ahead of him. Saied heard an echo of shouting and the clash of lances reverberating in the canyon. Behind him hoof beats thundered, and he turned in the saddle to see the distant shapes of Shamar warriors approaching.
His stomach dropped to his toes, and his heart rose in his throat. They'd been found out. It was a trap. He knew not how many warriors blocked the head of the canyon, but the sounds of battle crashed against the narrow walls. With the riders closing in from behind, the Anazah would be crushed.

He sounds like a wonderful horse. Linda Sherrill's daughter is also riding a Egyptian/Davenport cross in Competative Trail riding.You may enjoy looking at her web site

Linda Sherrill's Justus Arabians

Asadd's dam line does go back to the Davenport mare *Urfah. She is the dam line of All of today's Davenport Seglawi horses and appears in all of the straight Davenport pedigrees. You may enjoy her story at:

Urfah's strory (from "Our Quest..."

Please stop in again sometime and let us know how you and Asadd are doing.

In the meantime, here is a little information on his dam

Linda Bint Allany is 50% Hallany Mistany(a Brown Egyptian) as both her sire and dam are by him. Allany's sire is out of RODANNA, a CMK mare by the Crabbet-bred (and Kellogg imported) stallion *FERDIN and out of the (Crabbet-bred and Kellogg imported) *Raseyn daughter RAFA. Rafa's dam was the mare Amaana (Jadaan<Davenport> x Amham)

Amham was by the Davenport stallion, *Hamrah, and out of Dahura(by *El Bulad, another Davenport stallion, and out of Nanshan, (*Garaveen X *Nejdme)

Allany is out of SWEET HALLANY, a Hallany Mistany daughter of NISANA's.

Nisana a 'CMK' mare, is by CARAVAN (Carol Lyons mentions Caravan at

Davenport Arabians

The Davenports of the Kellogg Ranch

and out of NISAN(AH BEN X EMIREH),

AH BEN is by *AZRA (a Davenport stallion) and out of DAHURA(See above)

EMIREH is by EL SABOK (El Jafil(Early West Coast breeding) x Narkeesa(a Huntington mare)

EMIREH is out of DAWN(NEDJRAN JR x RHUA-a Davenport mare by *Haleb and out of *Urfah

Davenport Sets State Record

by

Demitasse CF, my 8 year old wonderful Davenport
mare, set at least a state (Great Lakes Distance
Riding Association) record Saturday when she
posted the lowest recorded pulse and respiration
ever taken at a sanctioned GLDRA ride.
Demitasse came in at the SECOND surprise vet
check of the day (after 23 miles of deep sand
competition) and posted a 7/1 pulse and respiration! ( 7/1 = 28 pulse per minute and 4
respirations per minute.) The ride manager and
vet took it again just to make sure, and yep, she
was down there! Demi is such a cool mare to ride
and is really getting the hang of this distance
stuff! On to 50 milers next year! Linda

You are doing so well with your mare. Yes, alot of what a horse can do is based on good breeding, but even more is the patience and conditioning on the part of the rider/trainer.
