Asil-Araber
Asil gilt ein Araber nur, wenn alle seine Vorfahren ausschließlich aus der Wüste stammen, in anerkannten Zuchtbüchern registriert sind und ohne Einwirkung von Fremdblut. Weltweit gibt es etwa 500 000 WAHO - eingetragene .Vollblutaraber, von denen höchstens 2% asil gelten, getreu der Beduinentradition gezüchtet!
Aus dem Blutfanatismus der Beduinen ist die Reinzucht zu erklären. Inzucht und die Selektion durch die Umwelt haben schlechte Erbmasse entfernt und eine hohe Inzuchtresistenz entstehen lassen. Durch die Lage der arabischen Halbinsel, die an drei Seiten vom Meer umgeben ist, und nördlich der Zugang durch große Wüstengebiete erschwert war, hat diese Isolation wesentlich zur Entwicklung des asilen Arabers beigetragen. Die Erfahrung hat die Beduinen gelehrt: Je reiner und unvermischter die Abstammung von altem, edlem Stamm, desto vollständiger das Pferd. Alle eigentümlichen ursprünglichen Eigenschaften wessen der Asilaraber besonders geschätzt wird, gibt er mit großer Sicherheit an seine Nachkommen weiter. Der asile Araber hat die höchste Durchschlagskraft in der Vererbung.
Origin and importance of the asil purebred ArabianThese questions about the origin of the noble Arabian horse need not be discussed in depth here, as they are of purely historical interest and have no practical consequences for the breeders today. What is interesting, however, is that whichever theory you subscribe to, the Arabian horse is Assumed to have originated in the highlands of the Nejd and in southwest Arabia; the latter meaning the province Asir in Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. "All evidence considered, the Arabian breed was native to the southern desert of Arabia (and Yemen)" (Forbis, "The Classic Arabian Horse", 1980, p.30) The noble purebred Arabian, the Nejdi, is the most original, the genuine Arabian. Raswan once termed it "Equus arabicus", meaning the most purely bred horse of which only a few hundred specimens existed and whose bone and skull structure, physical characteristics, and Disposition differed from all other oriental horses. (Raswan/Seydel, p. 9) What is an Arabian? It is today impossible to answer this simple question without launching into a lengthy and mostly boring lecture on the history of the Arabian horse and of the various Arabian breeds. This lecture would probably also include the many various bloodline groups within the pure Arabian breed with its subdivisions of pure Polish, straight Russian and other permutations thereof. The criteria defining these divisions and subdivisions shall nor to be discussed here, as these differences serve no practical purpose. The World Arabian Horse Organisation (WAHO) was founded in 1972 by Egypt, Australia, Britain, Canada, Poland, South Africa, and the USA. According to the WAHO definition, "a purebred Arabian is a horse that is registered in a WAHO-accepted studbook". These seven countries agreed to accept each others studbooks without any further examinations. Such examinations, had they occurred, would have had disastrous consequences; for the majority of horses registered as purebred Arabian in the studbook of these countries - excepting Egypt - are descended in part from non-Arabian horses. From the point of view of pure breeding, a close examination of these studbooks would have been a vital necessity. Instead, such an examination was deliberately avoided, which is understandable to a certain extent. But it means that a large number of horses have been accepted as purebred Arabians throughout the world that look like purebred Arabians, but can be proved to have descended From horses of unknown breeding.( Thoroughbreds, Persians, Turcoman and various other oriental horse breeds.) The books "The Lineage of the Polish Arabian Horses" by Guttmann/Klynstra and "The Index of Partbred Arabians Registered Internationally as Purebreds and their Partbred Ancestors" by Heck-Melnyk contain numerous examples to prove this. Unfortunately, these important Books are not very widely known, possibly because they are fairly expensive; but also because the discovery that one's own purebred, might turn out to be not as pure as one believed, might be too large a shock. It is saver to stick one's head in the sand and accept the minimal concenses offered by the WAHO, and to avoid addressing the problem or even thinking about it. It would have been sensible to maintain separate registries for asil and non-asil horses. But the WAHO has not been able to bring itself to do this. As a consequence, the breeders who had proven asil horses and wished to preserve them in pure from without being contaminated by doubtful bloodlines, founded several important Breeders association. They have in common the desire to preserve these authentic Arabian horses for posterity. Asil is the Arabic word signifying purity, nobility, authenticity .Only those Arabians Found in the registries of the above-named associations deserve to be called purebred Arabians, meaning the descendants of the dessert horses bred by Bedouin warrior tribes. `Desert Arabian` signifies the warhorse descended from the pure root, the Koheilan, and bred by the Bedouins (even if bred in settlements and oases) of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, The United Arabian Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and the desert areas of Syria, Iraq and Jordan. This does not include Egypt, nor secondary breeding countries in North Africa Europe, North America ,Australia or Turkey. All asil Arabians "desert horses" have one thing in common: the purity of their blood, preserved through millennia by the Bedouins in the knowledge of possessing a real treasure. For according to the belief of the Bedouins, only purebred horses could be relied on in the daily battle for survival in the Badia. And this is the purity which sets the descendants of the asil Arabian Bedouin horses so clearly apart from all other purebred Arabians. We have established that the original asil Arabian horse was the Bedouin war horse; or more Precisely: the war mare! This original horse is not the same as today's Egyptian, European and American purebred Arabian. It was different, and its descendants today are still different. We found this to be true wherever we travelled in Syria. Unfortunately this is unknown to most Arabian breeders. The asil purebred Arabian, which is today mostly of Egyptian breeding, does not represent the original type. It has been bred according to European tastes. The Egyptian pashas, too, were Europeans of Albanian descent and had many European servants. According to European and American expectations, an Arabian horse has to be, first and foremost, typey. In Europe and America "type" is primarily defined by refinement and a dished face. "Type" is mostly linked to feminine rather than masculine ideals. The Bedouin horse, however, is rather more masculine, muscular, stronger of bone, and more powerful in its overall appearance, without appearing coarse. These characteristics result from the Bedouins demand for a hardy riding horse. It is a great challenge for a breeder, to preserve these asil Bedouin horses with their special characteristics through pure breeding. Pure breeding means mating animals with a similar genetic background, but not homozygous and without total identity of the genetic background. (Flade, "Das Araberpferd", p.48) Special attention must be paid to preserving the great variety of strains reflected in the variety of type, size, conformation, legs, Arabian presence, etc., within the separate bloodlines. There have always been small and large, type and plain Arabian horses. The often invoked ideal of the Arabian horse is an idealized picture of a Saglawi Jedran. This is something for people who look for one purebred Arabian, and in their narrow way of seeing can not understand that it is precisely the diversity of the various strains that provides the necessary broad genetic base for breeders to work with. The Bedouins wanted to have a good riding horse which enabled him to do great deeds. The fight for survival in the dessert took care of the selection. |
