The Suwaitieh strain in the old days was commonly found in North Central Arabia. The strain has always been in Bahrain, but today is represented by a grandson of one mare, Suwaitieh Kuwaitieh. Suwaitieh was presented by to Shaikh Sulman (1895-1961) in late 1950, a mare of most peculiar pale golden chestnut colour. She produced only two offspring, a colt that was sent to Kuwait and a mare Suwaitieh Gumaashah 174, both by old Dahman Alawwal.

The mare produced one colt Suwaity 810, who is the only member of this strain now in existence.
