Lots about the different Turkish and Syrian strains (Maneki Hadruj, Jilfe, Saklavi Shiefi, Cifteler, Saklawi Jedran, Kuheyla Sherif, Maneki Subeyli, Kuheylan Nowak, Hamdani Simri, Jedrania, Obeyya Sherrak, etc.). The author and her husband traveled around to many tiny villages to inspect and photograph Arabians. They ended up buying two young horses and trained them to race.
