Defining the Asil Arabian Horse

​

The desert-originated Asil Arabian horse has a generational pedigree that traces back to the ancient horses of the Arab people.

 

For an Arabian horse to be assumed Asil, its pedigree must be exclusively based on Bedouin breeding of the known or historically recognized Bedouin Tribes of the Arabian Peninsula or the deserts of the Middle East.

 

Desert Origin Asil Arabian horses must be free from cross-breeding with non-Arabian horses.  Desert Origin Asil Arabian horses are of known acceptable origin and are free of impurity.

This Registry has been created to help breeders preserve and perpetuate the Pureblood Asil Arabian horse.  The Asil Arabian, the “pureblood source blood” has been dwindling in numbers throughout the World.  Current Registries operate under the WAHO definition of a purebred Arabian horse, and this has allowed “known non-Arabian blood” to be registered as Purebred.  The situation throughout the organizational structure of the Arabian horse World has unfortunately been corrupted by money and politics, most noticeable in the Arabian horse showrings.  Fads have also played a role, so much so that the Purebred Arabian horse no longer looks like the Asil Pureblood Arabians that founded this breed.  Bureaucracy and politics have let to the exclusion of valuable bloodlines from registration, especially in the realm of the Asil Arabian horses.  The numbers of Asil Arabians are too few, and the need too great for stewards of this breed to allow desert origin horses to slip through the cracks of time, undocumented.
