At right, two rare images of the stallion Kenur, AHR*1901, at about the age of 12. Kenur was straight Sa’ud of the Albert W. Harris importation, foaled 1940 by *Sunshine (imported in utero out of *Nufoud) out of *Tairah. The photos were taken by Charles Craver at the Harris farm in Wisconsin, on a tour of Arabian horse farms in 1952 or 3. Kenur has about 1450 descendants in Al Khamsa, but is unfortunately not preserved in straight Sa’ud breeding. His three prominent daughters are Haraka, Azyya and Bint Hamida.

News recognition of the arrival in the U.S. of the earliest Arabian horse to be registered in the Arabian Horse Club (now the AHA). Djeytan, or Panther, the lighter of the two, was registered as *Leopard AHR*233. Missisli was registered as *Linden Tree AHR*234.
