FADL: The Everyman's Horse

*Fadl was one of the first stallions imported by henry Babson in 1932 and he had a notable career at stud. he established a line of champions that led to the famous Khemosabi (a national champion in the 1960s and 70s, and one of the breeds foremost sires). *Fadl, however, was a champion in his own right and represented the versatility Arabians are known for. He excelled at endurance rides, halter classes, polo, working cow, harness, stud, and pleasure riding. For this reason, *Fadl was described as "all things to all men" by George Cason, manager of Babson Arabian Farm.

Homer Davenport is largely credited for making the Arabian horse a household name in America... particularly in the critical time of transitioning the horse from a utilitarian societal role to one of pleasure and leisure. Here is a quick scan of the Davenport exhibit in the Al-Marah at the Kentucky Horse Park

: Among the earliest American breeders to import Arabian horses from the Middle East were Donald and Judith Forbis. For years, they worked and lived in Turkey and other areas in the region and when they returned, they established their farm, Ansata Arabians. In 1958, they imported three yearlings they selected from the Egyptian Agriculture Organization (EAO): Ansata Ibn Halima, Bint Zafarana and Bint Mabrouka. These horses and their offspring became champions, champion producers and foundation stock for breeders throughout the world and are found in the pedigrees of many of today’s straight Egyptian and Egyptian-related champions. Breeders around the world owe these visionaries a debt of gratitude for their contributions to the Arabian horse. You can learn more about Arabian horse history by visiting the Al-Marah Arabian Horse Galleries and the International Museum Of The Horse where history and culture are celebrated. For an entertaining and educational trip, visit the Al-Marah Arabian Horse Galleries.

"How Janow Podlaski Stud Came to Be"

Poland's horses have had to overcome many seemingly insurmountable odds, surviving numerous occupations, two world wars, and a constant shifting of borders. Despite all this, Poland was, and is, one of the world's most prominent breeders of Arabian horses.

Home to some of the oldest Arabian studs in Europe, Poland began importing Arabians in 1805. In the early 19th century, Poland was divided, ruled by Germany, Austria, and Russia. Czar Alexander saw a need for Arabians in the Russian cavalry and began a National Polish stud at Janow Podlaski in 1817. at the Kentucky Horse Park

Did You Know?

An Archer's horse was specially trained? That's right! Mamluk archers were known for being extremely accurate shots, eve at a gallop. Furusiyya manuscripts indicate that most warhorses were trained to make defensive maneuvers in combat to avoid enemy weapons – without prompting from the rider.

Archer's horses, however, were trained to hold a steady course unless otherwise instructed by the rider. This took an extraordinary amount of courage and dedicated by the horse, which greatly contributed to the accuracy of the mounted Mamluk archers. at the Kentucky Horse Park
