A resource website for enthusiasts of the straight Egyptian Arabian horse.

A place to find horses of straight Egyptian lines that exist in Australia.

A place to list your straight Egyptian stud and contact details.  

 

We are indebted to Mohammed Ali, Abbas Pasha I, Ali Pasha Sherif, the RAS and EAO  for  their  efforts in acquiring some of the best desert horses and breeding them for generations to share.

       

  The definition of a straight Egyptian arabian horse as described by the Pyramid Society is below. 

 

  A straight Egyptian Arabian horse must...

 

  • Trace in every line of its pedigree to horses born in Arabia Deserta; AND

  • Trace in every line of its pedigree to a horse which falls within one or more of the following categories:

    • (a) owned or bred by Abbas Pasha I or Ali Pasha Sherif;

    • (b) used to create and maintain the Royal Agricultural Society(RAS) / Egyptian Agricultural Organization (EAO) breeding programs, with the exclusion of Registan and Sharkasi and their lineal descendants;

    • (c) a horse which was a lineal ancestor of a horse described in (a) or (b) above; OR

    • (d) other than those excluded above, a horse conceived and born in a private stud program in Egypt and imported directly to the United States and registered by the Arabian Horse Registry of America prior to the extension of the EAO's supervision to private Egyptian stud programs as reflected in Volume 4 of the EAO's Stud Book.

                                                                               Painting by Victor Adam

This is Abbas Pasha I riding one of his stallions, Zobeyni. 

At left is an example of a stallion bred at the stud of Abbas Pasha. This painting was done from real life. Notice the balance and smoothness, the high set tail, small sculptured head, long shoulder and depth through the loin and girth and the high set neck coming out high from the withers. All hallmarks of a well bred desert Arabian.

   This is a picture of Zobeyni [it is thought] who was owned by Abbas Pasha I.

    Zobeyni was born in the desert around 1840 and is in the pedigrees of many straight Egyptians as well other Arabian horse lines. The painting is by Vernet.
