[RC] Shagya Arabian--what are they? - Donna Coss

There are many that are still confused about the Shagya Arabian!  First
of all it is a 200 year old breed bred to be the "ideal cavalry horse"!
Tough, great riding qualities, such as bigger bone, proper shoulder and
hip angles, strong back and loins for weight carrying, and big, round
dense hooves.  They are an Arabian based breed!  Definately NOT a strain!

There is an excellent article that was published in Arabian Horse world
in 1983 that explains the  "difference".  The article is reprinted in
it's entirety at

http://www.shagya-arabian-horses-asav.org/about.html

Very interesting and complete article!


This Shagya breed registry has also  finished the rules & regs for
registering the wonderful Shagya cross,  the ANGLO SHAGYA    which is
Thoroughbred with at least 25% Shagya.
This Anglo Shagya seems to be an exceptional sport horse and the cross
has produced a number of competitive, talented horses.
