Abu Farwa (May 22, 1940 – July 27, 1972) was an Arabian stallion used in the W.K. Kellogg Institute horse breeding program at Cal Poly, Pomona.
Abu Farwa was foaled May 22, 1940. He was the best-known son of the Kellogg lead sire Rabiyas, whose bloodlines traces to the programs of the Crabbet Arabian Stud and Maynesoro Stud,[1] known for producing several five-gaited horses. His dam was the mare *Rissletta, bred by Crabbet and imported from England. Abu Farwa was a chestnut with bold horse markings,[2] today generally referred to as sabino.[3]
