Prince Muhammad Ali Tawfiq emphasized the importance of “familiarity” between a horse and its owner.
“Al Khail” website reviews some funny stories of Prince Muhammad Ali Tawfiq, as the prince emphasized the importance of “familiarity” between the horse and its owner, saying: “I want to tell a story I heard from the breeder Ali Pasha Jamal, a man whose old experiences abounded in Arabian horses and which was sent by Khedive Abbas Pasha I 20 times or more to Arab countries; To buy the best and finest horses.
It happened once that a blonde mare sold her by an Arab man for about 400 pounds, and she was beautiful.
she was sent to the stables of Casablanca, and these stables were the place where the Khedive put his best horses, and after a year her owner came and begged, crying, to let him return her.
This coincided with the presence of Khedive Abbas Pasha I, who told the arab man: If you know your horse among the twenty blond mare, I will give it to you.
The Arab man said: I take for myself that the mare herself gets to know me.
Orders were given and the twenty horses were released into the field. So the man started singing and waving with his hands, and then the Persians remembered her owner, who loved her very much, and took care of her upbringing, so the Persians escaped from the handler and ran to the man.
Prince Muhammad Ali Tawfiq commented on the story saying, “This little story is real, and I was told time and time again by the Pashas who were in the service of my great-grandfather.”
Prince Muhammad Ali Tawfiq cites another example to illustrate the importance of familiarity between a horse and its owner saying: I used to use a horse for ambulance, and it was a silky blue wall, and I loved him and talked to him and fed him sugar and caressed him.
No one but me can ride it because he finds it strange and throws it over his back, but with me it is like a lamb
My father, the Khedive, had a beautiful horse called “Jerboa”, dark red, and this horse liked to always be at the forefront of the horse, even if an officer rode it at a party and was not at the front, it would become fierce, and would not calm down until it got ahead of all the horses
