Davenport Arabs

"Truly the possession of noble horses enobles man"
(Arabian Proverb)

*Kusof

AMONG THE animals which Homer Davenport brought to the U.S.A. was a pure-in-the-strain Mu'niqi-Hadruj. This horse was Kusof, a two year old stallion of the Darley Arabian race-strain. What a lucky find! I roamed the deserts of Arabia on and off for over twenty-five years and was never able to acquire a pure-in-the-strain Mu'niqi-Hadruj.

THE TRAGEDY however is that Kusof was never mated with a mare of the Mu'niqi-Hadruj strain, though several pure-bred Mu'niqiyah-Hadrujiyah mares of Randolph Huntington were still alive in America at that time. Kusof was only used three times to Arabian mares in fifteen years (1908-1923) and all three belonged to other strains (not the Mu'niqiyat).
