The identification of the brand on Bedowia's neck, identified by Mrs. Richards as a government brand, is clarified by Sam Roach, courtesy of Edie Booth. Mr. Roach identified the brand (a circle with a vertical line through it) as the brand of the King, HRH Sa'ud Ibn Abdul Aziz. The slash mark brands on both flanks were a treatment for colic, or more likely to keep the horse from rolling during colic.

The above information is from recent translation of a hujjah for Walid El Seglawi from his breeder. The information agrees with the documents in the Arabian Horse Association import file for *Jamalah El Jedrani.
