Arabian Genetics & Gene Actions
A prepotent horse has a lot of homozygous alleles. This means that the horse has two of certain genes so when the split up to recombine with what the other parent has, the are going to always send that.
For example, a homozygous gray horse can only sire (or produce) a gray foal because the horse only can pass on the gray gene since it only has gray genes in that place.
A horse with a lot of genes doubled up is going to pass on the genes that it
has. If the genes are dominant, such as the gray gene, then the foal will have those dominant traits. - Carol Mingst
(posted on ArabianPreservationist Yahoo Group)
~~~~~~~
There is a test through UC Davis veterinary genetics lab,
that can show you all of the (color) combinations that your Arabian horse will
be able to produce. For more information and a chart showing all of the
possibilities click here
to go to the UC Davis genetics site for the test form, also information on
tests for the Sabino gene, pinto patterns and SCID. (Summer

Funny, this business of breeding Arabian horses.
Breed Ibn Bad Legs to Bint Bad Legs, and odds are you'll get Less
Than Perfect Legs. Breed Low Back to Ms Low Back, and chances are
you'll get Even Lower Back. But breed Prince Nearly Perfect to
Bint Gorgeous Gal and you might get Most Beautiful Ever, and you
could possibly produce The Great Tragedy, a foal doomed to early
death because of its inability to fight off infection...The
best-intentioned, most thoughtful, knowledge-based breeding in the
world could produce a SCID foal. ~ Vet

Arabian Horse Trust and an equally significant collection of art and
artifacts from the Arabian Horse Owners Foundation. The new Arabian horse

Historical Arabians
Types & Strains (and even Sub-Strains)
TYPES: Within the Arabian breed there are many different
"Types" ~ the word "Type" refers to conformational
characteristics specific to the Arabian horse such as the dished head that may
be more or less "extreme", the croup which may be more or less level,
the tail carriage which may be more or less pronounced, the fine skin with its
silky coat, and the action which is a hallmark of the breed, the basic
characteristics of good horse conformation apply -- paraphrased from the
article WHAT IS CRABBET?
by Somerset Publications : Publishers of Australia's Crabbet Arabian Horse
STRAINS: Some breeders equate differences in type to
differences in strain - "the strain-type theory" - arguing that within
a particular strain one is more likely to find uniformity. However, as an
Arabian takes its strain name from its tail-female ancestor only, it is possible
that this strain represents only an infinitesimal percentage of a range of
strains involved in the pedigree. The strains have their origins in the desert. The word
"Kuhaylan" (or Kehailan) is the Arabic name for horse, and to this strain were added others like
"Saqlawi" (or Seglawi), and "Mu'niqi" (or Managhi).
-- paraphrased from the article WHAT
IS CRABBET? by Somerset Publications : Publishers of Australia's Crabbet Arabian Horse
SUB-STRAINS: Substrains to the above "Strains" evolved as the horses of one
desert tribe or another became well-known for certain reasons ~ their speed, courage, great beauty, etc. All pedigrees eventually trace back to desert horses of one strain or another, but most Arabians of today are of very mixed
strains -- paraphrased from the article WHAT
IS CRABBET? by Somerset Publications : Publishers of Australia's Crabbet Arabian Horse

the 1880s
- The Hadban Enzahi strain traces back to Venus, a mare bred by the Yunis clan of the Shammar tribe and acquired circa 1893 by the ruler of Egypt, the Khedive Abbas Pasha Hilmi
II
- The Saqlawi Jedran strain has three branches surviving in Heirloom
bloodstock:
~ The Ibn Sudan branch of the family extends from the desertbred mare
Ghazieh, exported to Egypt for Viceroy Abbas Pasha I circa
1850
~ A second branch of the Saqlawi Jedran extends from Roja (Roga el Beda), an Ali Pasha Sherif mare producing in the stud of Prince Ahmed Pasha Kemal of Egypt in the
1880s
~ The third branch of the Saqlawi Jedran strain in Heirloom Straight
Egyptian programs today originated with the Ibn Ed-Derri clan of the Sebaa Anazeh
tribe and all descend from Basilisk, a mare exported from the desert for Lady Anne and Wilfrid Blunt in
1878

- Saqlawi
| Saklawi: "The ... strain is noted for an air of elegance, relatively
flat musculature in some individuals, upright neck carriage, and a
well-developed forehand. Davenport Saqlawi heads tend to have the most
prominent part of the facial profile (jibbah) placed somewhat lower
than the Kuhaylans, causing the "dished" aspect of the profile to
be further below the eyes and thus more apparent. Hind leg structure of the
Saqlawis as viewed from the side may be somewhat straighter than that of the
Kuhaylans, and when viewed from the rear the hocks may be a little closer
together. " ~ from "Your

Preservationist Groups
"As to the notion that preservation breeding is not
compatible with selection for improvement or with breeding 'quality horses', I
think there are two separate ideas here: we want to improve our individual
animals in the sense of breeding to combine more of the best features of our
kind of horse in each individual. What we do not subscribe to is the
conventional notion that one can 'improve the breed', which seems to mean, in
practice, "make it look more like some other breed." Most of us are
breeding within specific pedigree limits precisely because in our experience
they turn out specific kinds of good Arabian horses." -- Michael
