 Origins of the Arabian Horse: Professor Ridgeway and Lady Wentworth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Lady Wentworth was undoubtedly very gifted and intelligent, and her combination of knowledge, experience and intuition resulted in some of the finest Arab horses ever bred.
Unlike her mother, Lady Anne Blunt (whose scholarship was meticulous), Lady Wentworth had a somewhat cavalier way with facts, which could be stretched beyond credibility, distorted, or simply ignored if it suited her argument to do so.
Ultimately, perhaps, Lady Wentworth found it impossible to abandon her cherished ideas about her beloved breed, and this was what led her to disregard or dismiss so much of the scientific evidence.

 The "Mares at Grass:" A Photo of *Raseyn's Second Dam
As a first approximation, I see no reason not to think Lady Anne had it right, and a photo of Kibla as a yearling seems consistent with this judgement, in terms of the general shape of her face and the distinctive cut of her nostrils.
That 1904 brown daughter of Mesaoud and Rosemary had been Lady Anne Lytton's favorite riding horse as a girl at Crabbet; the mare died of twisted gut in 1920 at age 16, and bred on into modern pedigrees through just one offspring, but that was Rayya by Rustem.
Lady Anne certainly should have been able to recognize her favorite mare; if any confirmation be needed, Riada's markings as recorded in Lady Anne Blunt's manuscript studbook are, "near fore foot, narrow blaze like prolonged star, and spot between nostrils." That fits this dark mare to a "T."
