Arab Horses

Aabsolut
AABSOLUT is a 15 hand, 1996 stunning burgundy bay by *PRINCIP (NABEG x PANAGIA) out of AMARILLA PR by MARYK, lovely daughter of ANTINA by ANTEY. He has inherited the place of his sire as the bearer of the great line of ARAX. He offers an incredibly beautiful face, large eye, small ears, well placed upright neck with excellent shoulder, short back, powerful movement and breathtaking hock action.

Azeer
Azeer (Zircon Nazeer x Patrician Blue) - British National Champion Reserve in-hand and Multiple Champion in-hand and under saddle. Competed and won at Elementary dressage. In November 2008, Tabara was backed for riding and took to it very easily. She has been a delight to teach and is very receptive. She made her ridden debut in July 2009 at The Classic, where she won large class of 12 mares and went on to take the Novice Ridden Championship. She has been shown just two further times taking a 2nd at the National Championships and Reserve Champion at the South East Region Arab Horse Society show. On all occasions she won her class with a minimum of 12 mares in – not bad for her first few outings. T

Maleikero
Maleikero and Andrea Boyle sucessful arab show horse. Maleikero won his class of 15 geldings qualifying for Horse of the Year yet again - the only horse to have qualified every year (except 2008 due to injury) since Arabian Horses went to HOYS. The Arabian horse is accepted throughout the world as the purest and oldest of all horse breeds. Its origins are in the Middle Eastern deserts where the Bedouin tribesmen used it as a warhorse, abandoning any animal which could not carry him at speed across miles of open desert with little food or water and he favoured the mare because, unlike the stallion, he could trust her to keep quiet! Today, almost every breed and type of horse has traces of Arab blood and all English Thoroughbreds are descended in the male line from the Byerley Turk, the Darley Arabian and the Godolphin Arabian which were all imported into Britain in the early 1700s. The resurgence of Pure Bred Arabians in Britain started when Wilfred and Lady Anne Blunt travelled extensively throughout Arabia, befriended tribesmen and selected the best bloodlines to import 29 desert-bred mares and stallions in 1881. The Arabian horse averages 15 hands in height. The stallion has great presence whilst the mare gives an impression of elegant gentleness. They have a distinct outline and are of perfect proportion. The coat has an iridescent sheen. The head is slightly dished, tapering to a fine muzzle; the eyes are large and low placed while the throat is fine, with a well shaped arched neck. The back is short and the loins strong and muscular, the croup is level and the tail carried high. To these must be added dense flat bone and hard feet, acute eyesight and hearing, purity and prepotency coupled with a gentle temperament and ability to survive. These are the hallmarks of the Arab. They are the most comfortable riding horses, with great stamina, their paces are light and free with an elevated trot capable of great extension. They can carry disproportionate weights whether jumping, racing or, in particular, over endurance distances where Pure and Part Bred Arabs excel against other breeds. The Anglo Arab (any percentage of Arab and Thoroughbred blood) is an excellent hack and competition horses, combining the size and scope of the Thoroughbred with the courage and intelligence of the Arab. When crossed with other breeds and those of unknown breeding, they produce very good riding and performance stock and they are eligible for entry in the Arabian Part Bred Register.

Arab Dressage Stallions Horse Showing :- Horse Of The Year Show - Famous the world over, HOYS is widely regarded as the pinnacle of achievement in the equestrian world and an event to which all owners and riders aspire. Tens of thousands of competitors set out each year to become one of the coveted finalists at HOYS through qualifying classes held all over the country between March and September. Therefore, visitors to HOYS can be assured that they are truly watching some of the most talented showing and show jumping horses and riders in the UK. Horse of the Year Show celebrates the end of the competitive season by crowning the Champions of some of the most prestigious National Showing Championships. With most major county shows in the country holding qualifiers for Horse of the Year Show and their Champions qualifying for the HOYS Finals, it is little wonder that Horse of the Year Show has become known as the "Show of Champions." HOYS is the traditional end of season event, bringing together the crème de la crème of the showing world. Competitors from all over the UK battle it out to qualify for the chance to be crowned with the greatest accolade in their respective class. Twenty-seven Championship classes cover all of the most popular of British breeds and types, with the respective Champions going forward to contest for the Show’s most prestigious titles, the Supreme Horse of the Year and the Supreme Pony of the Year. The popular SEIB Search For A Star Championship returns to HOYS this year. The series was designed to encourage amateur riders to bring their horses into the show ring, giving them a rare opportunity to qualify and compete at the Show. Over the past ten years many top show horses have started a successful career in Search For A Star classes. The SEIB Racehorse to Riding Horse Show Championship has also proved to be a big hit with the crowds, instigated to support and encourage the re-education of thoroughbreds taken out of racing and re-schooled and prepared for the show ring. The series, supported by the charity Retraining Of Racehorses, helps to recognise the abilities of the many horses that come out of racing each year and provides them with a worthwhile competition opportunity. In 2008, Horse of the Year Show relocated the Showing Arena, sponsored by Caldene, to Hall 1 of the NEC. The move proved extremely popular with visitors enabling them to shop at leisure in the Retail Village and never be too far from the action! Grandstand Media Ltd reserves the copyright of this image.
