*Turfa 1933, g, m, AHR# 2133 *Turfa was bred by the Saudi Royal Family in the Royal Stud at Khorma. While she was registered as a Kuhaylah al Khorma, according to Carl Raswan this was a mistranslation and she was actually an Abayyah al Humah. The original papers were unfortunately lost. She was imported in 1941 by Henry B. Babson.
Much confusion surrounds *Turfa, probably because she was owned by the Babson Farm. *Turfa is defined by Al Khamsa as a foundation mare who falls under the Sa'ud ancestral element. She is considered to be BLUE STAR but is neither straight Egyptian nor Sheykh Obeyd.
