Baladi Horse

Country of Origin: Egypt

Intro

Also called Egyptian Horse, the Baladi is an Egyptian horse of questionable bloodlines.

Origins

The Egyptian Horse is no longer an individual breed as it once was. There has been significant “Arabization” of the indigenous horses of Egypt, due to the short distance between Arabia & the Nile. The resulting animals come from a combinations of Arabian bloodlines & are unable to be registered.

An influx of English Thoroughbred blood was added for increased speed & size, but because of their lack of papers these animals are shunned by breeders & tribesmen.

Although they are still magnificent animals & often faster over short distances, (but not as hardy over distance as the pureblood Arabian).
