About Our Arabian Horses

"Nedjme would follow the old man like a dog, and rub her soft nose against his face and neck, while he would talk to her and whisper his queer Arab gibberish into her velvet ear, and pass his hands over her lovely dark eyes."

from The Arabian Mare Nedjme

Al Khamsa horses are:аа(as defined by AL KHAMSA, INC.)

"Bedouin Arabians, defined as those that can be reasonably assumed to be descended entirely from horses bred in the Arabian desert by Bedouin tribes. The organization's by-laws require that the roster of horses eligible for AL KHAMSA Сwill not be altered except by a three-fourths affirmative vote by those present and voting at two successive annual meetings, provided that notice of any proposed change shall be furnished to the National Chairman in the same manner as an ammendment to these by-laws,' i.e., 30 days prior to the national meeting. СThe burden of proof that a horse or source of horses is elegible for inclusion in AL KHAMSA shall be on the person(s) who makes the request for an ammendment to include said horse or source of horses. Such proof shall include, but not be limited to, a complete pedigree (with breeder's names, foaling dates of all horses involved) back to the Bedouin tribes, the name(s) of the tribes, and circumstances surrounding his/her/their acquisition, from the bedouin tribe(s), and any further information that the Board of Directors feel is essential to show acceptable proof of authenticity.'" From Al Khamsa Arabians, 1983

All the Al Khamsa Arabians at Loro Verde have had their pedigrees carefully checked and re-checked using the Pedigree Index of Al Khamsa Arabians. Any foals resulting from two of my Al Khamsas may be considered Al Khamsa themselves. Loro Verde is proud to be breeding several distinct lines of Al Khamsa Arabians, for preservation, show and racing:

We offer several nice "new" or "modern" straight Egyptian Arabians. For simplicity's sake, these have all been designated "EAO" in their individual write-ups.
We offer many wonderful one hundred percent Babson Egyptian Arabians. These are designated Babson Egyptian.
We offer some nice straight "old" Egyptian Arabians. These are mostly Babson crossed onto Doyle and/or Brown lines.
We also are proud to be able to offer some lovely Desert Arabians, oftentimes crossed onto Davenport lines. These are designated in their write-ups as Desert.
We also have some wonderful pure Davenports. These are the versatile, athletic descendants of the historic importation made by Henry Davenport in 1906.
We also have a handful of BLUE STAR Qualified broodmares of varying origin.
We are also most likely the only model horse farm breeding the special line of largely Babson Egyptian Arabian horses who are also descended from the lovely (desertbred, non-Egyptian) mare, *Turfa, sometimes enhanced by the elegant Egyptian stallion, Sirecho. The real horses of this bloodline are noted for their extreme friendliness and affection for people, as well as that classic desert look and motion. We have also blended this line with the blood of the exquisite grey Egyptian mare, *Roda (a Brown import.) All of these horses have had their exact line identified in their write-ups.

Please note that not all Al Khamsa Arabian horses are "Straight Egyptian" and not all "Straight Egyptian" Arabian horses are Al Khamsa! For those wishing "straight Egyptian" foals, you should stick to horses designated EAO, Babson, and Babson plus Sirecho and/or *Roda. *Turfa was not considered Egyptian, nor are the Desert lines or the Davenports.

Most of our Al Khamsa horses can also be considered Blue List. We have a small handful of BLUE STAR Qualified Broodmares (No recorded Mu'niqi blood.) For a model to be considered BLUE STAR Qualified, he must have two BLUE STAR or two BLUE STAR Qualified parents. As we have no BLUE STAR Qualified stallions standing at this point, we can gladly supply you with a list of real BLUE STAR Qualified stallions that may be bred to our BLUE STAR Qualified mares. (These BLUE STAR Qualified mares may, of course, be bred to Blue List/Al Khamsa stallions to result in a Blue List/Al Khamsa foal.) All horses have also had their strains listed, in the event that other model horse breeders are practicing strain breeding.
