'Tajar' bred by Count Hahn at Twenark, Mecklenburg by a pure Arab sire. Bought by M Meyer, the Queen's riding master, from Count Hatzfeld in 1844.
'Tajar' is recorded as being still ridden by Queen Victoria when taking exercise in the riding school in 1856, the year in which he died at the age of twenty three.
