Sire of Sires.

The Black Stallion Series.
His dam was pure blood Arabian but his sire wasn't. But his granddaughter told me the story of his sire, the golden stallion, Ziyadah, which meant suberb in speed. But soon after he was weaned from his dam, whose name she did not give me...the yearling escaped and ran wild in the mountains before Abu's men caught Ziyadah....about a year later. Then, a few months later, he sired the Black on the mare Jinah Al-Tayr. He escaped again this time taking the Black with him. It was almost a year later before they tracked both horses down, and then they only managed to catch the young colt...the Black.
