The straight Egyptian breeding of Al Shaqab

The straight Egyptian breeding of Al Shaqab Since Al Shaqab was founded in 1992, with a group of straight Egyptian mares purchased from Egypt, it has been our intention to preserve the Arabian breed at its highest level, to make a positive and lasting contribution to the future of Al Shaqab’s breeding program and to the Arabian horse breed.

The mares purchased from Egypt were complimented with the monumental acquisition of Ansata Halim Shah, from the United States, in 1994 and was supplemented by a second American importation when Alidaar arrived in 1999. And then, more recently and of equal significance, 2012 saw a return of the Egyptian-bred horses via the lease of Magd Albadeia.

ANSATA HALIM SHAH (Ansata Ibn Halima x Ansata Rosetta) 1980 straight Egyptian stallion

Throughout the years numerous other stallions have been incorporated. Qatari breeders and our neighbors throughout the Gulf are renowned for their selection and importation of outstanding straight Egyptian bloodlines and we have benefited enormously from their generosity and commitment. Ultimately, however, it was Ansata Halim Shah and Alidaar who have contributed the most significant direct impact and now that we have been able to assess the influence of Magd Albadeia, we have equal expectations of his contribution.

Today, it is the children, the grand-children and the greatgrand-children of those mares purchased from Egypt that represent the foundation and nucleus of our straight Egyptian breeding program. In recent years, new mares, from near and far, have entered the breeding program and despite the sentiment of some breeders we have not and will not discriminate against any bloodline, they are all straight Egyptian, they are purebred Arabians after all and we are proud of our stance in this regard.

ALIDAAR (Shaikh Al Badi x Bint Magidaa) 1984 straight Egyptian stallion

Throughout the following pages we present our twenty-three year commitment to breeding, the straight Egyptian families that have proven capable of consistently reproducing their most idealistic conformational traits and their quality – the true hallmark of the Al Shaqab breeding program.
