In the conformation and phenotype testing these specimens are selected based on the highest standards of quality. In them we see reflected the plans of rearing stallion that was carefully selected to cover their mares to achieve an excellent product.
Babolna, a state stud owned by Imperial and Royal Hungary, founded in 1789 by Major Joseph Csekonics, and located near the border between Austria and Slovakia, is the origin of this breed of Arab horses from Thoroughbred.
A Bedouin stallion called “Shagya” appellate 1.60 meters, which had been imported from Syria in 1836, emerged as the most suitable for breeding. The crossing took a very positive and promising result that the new race was named in honor Shagya Arab horses to his father.
Arab heritage
The stud is formed by 280 horses in total, which are threescore broodmares, stallions and nine are the remaining foals. About half are purebred and the other Arab Thoroughbred. Nowadays, the Shagya Arab horses are also raised with much success in Radautz. However, the greatest number of Shagya is in Germany and his upbringing has already spread to fifteen countries in Europe, North and South.
Despite having a relatively high percentage of Thoroughbred Arabian, Shagya horse should be clearly differentiated as it not only species but also by its greater appeal, size and diameter of cane. Therefore, in accordance with the regulations, only 9 of every 16 parents can be of pure Arab blood in the fourth generation.
