Latif’s sire line was established
by his 1921 son Denouste
(x Djaima). There seems to be
some uncertainty if his name is
Denouste, Dénouste or Denousté,
as it varies according to different
sources; but whichever way you
pronounce him, he was arguably
the most influential sire in French
Arabian breeding.
Denouste was a chestnut like his
dam Djaima, from whom he
inherited more than just the color.
Thanks to her, he had a better neck- Denouste’s neck was as long as
his sire’s, but less heavy – but she
may also have been at least partly
responsible for his rather plain
head. Djaima’s head appears to
have been very plain indeed, even
slightly Roman-nosed, which was
not all that unusual in those days.
Latif was no beauty himself, so it
would have been surprising if
Denouste had been pretty. Since
Denouste became a target of
heavy inbreeding in later years, it is
hardly surprising that this plain,
heavy head keeps reappearing in
French racing Arabians; on the
asset side, so do the long croup
and the excellent shoulder.
Denouste may well be called the
blueprint of French racing
Arabian breeding.
