Salamah was registered as an Arab at the time of her importation, before being downgraded to Anglo-Arab factor saddle horse when France joined the WAHO. This maneuver made it possible to justify keeping French Arab racing bloodlines in the studbook despite their highly dubious status. As Jordan was not a member of WAHO in 1976, this status was invoked to justify the downgrading. Today, none of his descendants is an asil. But she represents one of the best Anglo-Arab endurance bloodlines.
