From our Arieana Notebook: Hanad, a straight Davenport stallion, had passed through several owners before he was purchased by W.K. Kellogg in 1929 as part of a group of eleven Arabians from Charles W. Jewett of Indianapolis, Indiana. Trained for five-gaits and other high-school specialty work, Hanad was popular here in Southern California both for his performances in the Kellogg Sunday Shows and as a sire of well-built, trainable foals, especially when crossed on the Kellogg mares descending from the Crabbet and Maynesboro bloodlines. Mr. Herbert H. Reese, in his book The Kellogg Arabians, writes the following words about him:

"Hanad proved to be adaptable to any sort of training of an unusual sort, such as 'jumping rope' under saddle, doing the Spanish walk, standing on a pedestal, and so on. His calm disposition was never flustered by noise, crowds or strange surroundings, yet he was always spirited and full of 'go', making him ideal as an exhibition horse. He took part in practically all the shows, parades, and motion picture work away from the ranch as well as doing his specialties in the Sunday exhibitions, and his appearance in one of these parades eventually led to his sale." (Reese, p. 143)
