The Darley Arabian UK Challenge to be held in classes 67,68 & 69

A new exciting, rewarding showing competition for the Amateur handlers and horse.

History of Darley Arabian

Darley, founded by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is a global thoroughbred stallion operation which currently stands stallions in six countries around the world. Darley’s headquarters is Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket – the renowned home of racing. A trio of dominant foundation sires heralded the dawn of the English Thoroughbred, and all racehorses now descent from these founding fathers.

The oldest of the three is the Byerley Turk. Seized by a soldier call Captain Byerley during the battle of Buda in 1686, the Turkish stallion spend the next decade servicing as the captain’s warhorse. The Byerley Turk then moved with his newly-married owner to Yorkshire, England, where this legendary horse’s dynasty was founded. In 1704, the Darley Arabian was bought in Aleppo, Syria by Thomas Darley – an English trader and emissary of Queen-Anne – who exchanged the horse for shipment of rifles in the first arms deal in the Middle East. The stallion was then shipped to his family estate of Aldby Park, England, and entered racing legend as the Darley Arabian. Known to have covered mares from 1706 – 1719, before dying at the wonderful age 30. Most racehorses alive today carry several hundred crosses of his descendants and 95% of modern thoroughbred racehorses can trace their Y chromosome back to this single stallion. Almost 280 years after the Darley Arabian stood his first season at stud Sheikh Mohammed named his breeding operation in honour of the stallion: one of the Arab world’s greatest exports.

So, why the Darley Arabian UK Challenge?

Amateurs are an extremely important part of the Arabian horse industry that should not be ignored, yet their contributions had been underestimated for far too long. After all, they are the foundation of the breed and, certainly in The United Kingdom, there are far more amateur breeders than big professional stud farms. The Arab Horse Society Shows committee have added an extra exciting element to the UK show scene and bring back the atmosphere and enthusiasm that could be found at shows in the past.

In-Hand classes to be held at AHS Affiliated Regional shows in the UK in 2025. There are four classes, class A, AA and class B, BB. Qualifying cards available from Linda Whincup, Arabian Horses Society at a cost of £10.00. Cards MUST be signed at the show either by the Judge/Steward or Show Secretary.

Class B In hand – this class is the Amateur handler (as defined in AHS Rules of Showing) and horse (HAS been professionally trained either at home or stabled with a professional handler) Open to any colt, gelding, mare, filly or stallion any age pure-bred or part bred.
