| In the early 90ies when we began to breed straight Egyptian mares like Tiffaha to selected Russian and later on to Polish and French stallions, many Egyptian breeders around the world were offended and indict us to blemish the “poor breed” of Egyptian Arabians. The reason for this “Breeding Revolution” was not the creation of a new trend or fashion in Arabian horse breeding. Our only and ultimate objective was to preserve, consolidate and improve the real “Emotional Arabian Type”. |
 When breeding our mares to Russian or French stallions we were totally aware of the fact to change the “External Type” by “loosing” a little bit dished heads and flat croups and get more substance in bones and muscles. But at the same time we reached to consolidate the internal “Emotional Arabian Type”.

 Only
stallions were selected which were characterized by an outstanding and
exceptional “Emotional Intelligence”. Stallions with a distinct “Emotional
Intelligence” dispose of natural charisma and dominance, nerves of steel,
gentleness, social behaviour, self motivation and the total will to perform. |

 Observing
the worldwide development of the Egyptian breeding program during the last 30
years we noticed that internal “Emotional Arabian Type” got lost more and more
in favour of an extreme and airy external type in many cases almost touching
fragility. We see the only explanation of this development in increased
inbreeding of the Egyptian lines and in an isolated and partial breeding
selection focused exclusively to external type attributes. |

Using selected stallions of Russian, French and Polish lines we succeeded in preserve the real values of Arabian Type without limit breeding to “poor beauty”. |
