An early handwritten herd book of Prince Mohamed Aly's Manial Stud describes the sire of Saklawi II as a "Sacklawi of the stud of Prince Ahmed. Gift to H.H. the Khedive Abbas II, descendant of horses from Abbas I." In the entry for Bint Yamama he refers as a "white mare from the stud of Koubbah [of Khedive Abbas II], sire Saklawi, son of Saklawi Jedran of Ali Pasha Cherif, from the stud of Khedive Abbas I. Lady Anne Blunt refers to at least two stallions as "old grey Saqlawis from Ali Pasha Sharif". At Prince Ahmad Pasha Kamal's stud, she describes a mare as sired by "the white Seglawi from Ali Pasha Sherif (an old horse, 18 years) still here." This horse would have been foaled c1873 [J&C 4.11.1891]. Later, she notes that Prince Ahmad has offered them the use of "the old white Seglawi (Sudan)." [J&C 1.17.1893]. Eleven years later, again at Prince Ahmed's stables and describing Sabbah, she says "Managhi Ibn Sbeyel... his sire the old Seglawi Jedran from Ali Pasha Sherif belonging to Ahmed Pasha (now dead)." This refers to the stallion having died, as Prince Ahmad did not die until 1907 [J&C 3.9.1904]. Lady Anne describes what must be another horse in that it is still living in 1909-"the old Seglawi Jedran Prince Ahmed Pasha had from Ali Pasha Sherif which old (white) horse the Khedive got afterwards from Prince Ahmed and has now pensioned off in his Boulak stables." [J&C 11.27.1909] The stallion described first would have been 36 by 1909 and was evidently dead by 1904. Lady Anne does not refer to these horses as either desert-bred and imported to Egypt or bred in Egypt, merely as from Ali Pasha Sharif. At this point we still don't know if these two Old Saklawi stallions were related each others or not.
