Straight Egyptian Arabian
To qualify as a Straight Egyptian, as defined by The Pyramid Society, a horse must

(1) be registered or eligible by pedigree for registration by the Arabian Horse Registry of America

AND (2) trace in every line of its pedigree to horse born in Arabia Deserta;

AND (3) trace in every line of its pedigree to a horse which falls within one or more of the following categories:

(a) owned or bred by Abbas Pasha I or Ali Pasha Sherif:

(b) used to create and maintain the Royal Agricultural Society (RAS)/Egyptian Agricultural Organization (EAO) breeding programs, with the exclusion of Registan and Sharkasi and their lineal descendants

(c) a horse which was a lineal ancestor of a horse described in (a) or (b) above;

and (d) other than those excluded above, a horse conceived and born in a private stud program in Egypt and imported directly to the United States and registered by the Arabian Horse Registry of America prior to the extension of the EAO's supervision to private Egyptian stud programs as reflected in Volume 4 of the EAO's stud book.


Foals prior to 2005:


An Egyptian-Bred (also known as Egyptian-Related) horse, as defined by The Pyramid Society, is:

(a) one who was produced either by breeding a Straight Egyptian stallion to a purebred Arabian mare who is not Straight Egyptian

OR (b) one whose grandsires are both Straight Egyptian, and whose dam is a purebred Arabian who is not Straight Egyptian.

Only horses of certifiable ancestry are eligible for classification as Straight Egyptian or Egyptian-Bred as defined by The Pyramid Society, and therefore are also eligible for Society managed programs.


Foals of 2005 and Beyond:

An Egyptian-Sired (previously known as Egyptian-Bred/Related) horse, as defined by The Pyramid Society, is

a purebred Arabian who is produced by breeding a Straight Egyptian stallion to a purebred Arabian mare who is not Straight Egyptian, beginning with registrations of 2005.
All existing horses presently meeting the definition of Egyptian-Bred/Related will be grandfathered in through the remainder of their lifetime.

Only horses of certifiable ancestry are eligible for classification as Straight Egyptian or Egyptian-Sired, as defined by The Pyramid Society, and therefore eligible for Society managed and promoted programs.
