Description
In 1836, the Anglo-Arabians were first created in France under the supervision of French National Stud Service through a cross between imported English Thoroughbred mares and Arabian stallions. Although the breeders from Normandy are often credited for the development of Anglo-Arabian horses in the 1750s, these crossbreeding remained largely undocumented.
The actual breeding of Anglo Arabs started when de Bonneval at the Le Pin stud crossed an Arab stallion Massoud to two Thoroughbred mares, Deer and Selim Mare in 1833. He also crossed an Arab mare Nichab with English sires, but the foals were not impressive. In the same year, Louis Phillipe promulgated an ordinance, which established the French National Studbook (horsebreedspictures.com).
Complete 2007 after 12.31 hours spread over 8 days.
