Bahraini Al Khamsa Roster Proposal passes its first vote
Last November I submitted a proposal for the inclusion in the Al Khamsa Roster of a number of Bahraini Arabian horses that had been exported from Bahrain, to the UK, South Africa, Egypt, Poland, and Germany. The proposal was masterfully presented by Joe Ferriss, with comparative pedigree charts and nice photos, and it passed its first vote at the Al Khamsa 2018 Convention in Texas.
Hopefully, by this November, I will submit a proposal for the inclusion of the Syrian horses that have been exported to the West. This new blood is a much welcome addition to the existing authentic bloodlines.
Wonderful news
Dear Edouard
I always enjoy reading through the great variety of articles gathered here, and I find it an indespensible source of information on the Asil Arabian Horse. We highly respect all the effort you are investing. I hope you never get tired of researching into the Asil Arabian bloodlines, much more should be done in my opinion to bring all this knowledge to breeders worldwide. I will contact you on a cooperation via e-mail.
Do you know whether Irani Asils are accepted by Al Khamsa? Certainly not all will be acceptable as Asil, but we have enquiries once in a while. Are they accepted by Waho?
Hi Danielle,
Lovely message! Thanks! There are no Iranian horses in the Al Khamsa Roster, but Iran’s studbook is accepted by WAHO, and there are a horse or two in Europe. In the process of submitting horses to Al Khamsa Roster, we use a safer but more intensive horse by horse individual approach, as opposed to accepting all Syrian horse, all Bahraini horses, all Iranian horses, etc.
Yeahh ! They got a big yes! Both Joe Ferriss and Jenny Lees presentations were awesome.
Very much hope the inclusion of Syrian horses 😉
Amelie Blackwell’s own presentation was fascinating. My wife and I had fun talking with her personally (Amelie, I am the extra-large person who talked with you about the USA’s immense French heritage). Lots of follow-on questions forming, but one for now: Amelie, did Marengo have any get, and if so, do his lines still exist in France?
