Over a century ago, an inexplicable set of circumstances merged in the land of Egypt, sparking a phenomena that would shape the future of the Arabian breed. Seven seemingly unrelated individuals followed a personal calling, all drawn to the same place at the same time — pursuing the same passion. Their backgrounds were quite different, some were Egyptian Royalty or warrior descendants of Egyptian royalty, others were of European nobility, scholars and skilled professionals. Each had come to realize that the unparalleled physical and spiritual character of the Arabian horse had been cultivated over thousands of years subject to the specific breeding philosophies of the Bedouin breeders. Likewise, each understood that to separate the breed from that philosophy was to weaken the very fibers of its unique character over time. Neither motivated by the procurement of wealth nor by power, these individuals put aside their obvious differences to fulfill one common goal; the perpetuation of the original, authentic Arabian Horse in its finest form. They became students and disciples of the Bedouin horsebreeding practices, steadfast purists by today’s standards. United by their common aspirations, their purpose transcended racial, political, and cultural divides. There were many hardships, many sacrifices, but the legacy they left is at the very core of the modern Arabian breed. Miraculously, it has been maintained through like-minded breeders of succeeding generations, who have seen through the vision of those 7 original breeders.
