History of the Egyptian Arabian Horse
Perhaps most fascinating of these are the hieroglyphic inscriptions of Ancient Egypt,
which reveal the Egyptians with their desert horses as early as 1580 B.C. Even King
Solomon, in all his wisdom, “...had horses brought out of Egypt.” And he had “...forty
thousand stalls of horses for his chariots and twelve thousand horseman.” Indeed, the
heritage of the Egyptian Arabian evokes images of classic beauty and heroic gallantry. It
is easy to understand why they have been admired and sought after by kings, Pharaohs,
and mankind in general throughout the ages.
Between 1895 and the mid- 1980's, some of the best Egyptian Arabians bred in the Land
of the Nile were exported to the United States. Those individuals and their ancestors
form the nucleus of the Egyptian Arabian bloodlines in North America today.
The Egyptian Arabian horse has been valued as an extremely productive source of the
classic refinement for which the Arabian breed is well known. These horses combine a
Historic legacy and ethereal beauty with the ability and temperament to excel in areas
from halter to dressage, to endurance, to beloved family companion. Although
numbering less than 3% of the hundreds of thousands of registered Arabians, Egyptian
Arabians continue to command a disproportionately large number of ribbons, honors,
and hearts.
