Dr. Walter Hecker gives us some introduction into judging the Shagya-Arabian, and tells us, what is most important.

The ideal Shagya-Arabian The ideal Shagya-Arabian is a noble, harmonious, naturally-balanced horse with rhythmic, elastic, elevated and ground-covering gaits which are easy to ride. It is important while judging a horse to keep this in mind and to take into account whether or not his conformation assists him to function in this way . A clean throat latch is a precondition for having light contact with the bit, as well as for maintaining the natural balance of the elegant, fluid movements. Another precondition is that the hindlegs can reach well under the center of gravity. The hindquarter is the horse’s motor, therefore it is important, that it is long, strong and well muscled. The topline transmits this power and impulsion to the forehand. It is important that this can happen without any loss of power. |
| Tajar, Purebred Arabian, stallion, 1801, Egypt. The stallion was purchased by Baron Fechtig 1811 in Kairo at an auction. He belonged to a Mameluke Sheik who was murdered by Mohamed Ali. It was probably Latif-Bey who bought the stallion from the Stud of Murad-Bey in Ghizé, which was destroyed by Napoleon I. He was bought by Count J. Hunyady of Kéthely for his Ürmény Stud. By 1826 Tajar had produced 206 foals of best quality. Tajar was put down at age 31 due to a lack of appetite. Tajar was the perfect horse of the XIXth century, but he was too long in the back and overbuilt (croupe-high) behind. Don’t confuse him with the “Tajars” from Weil. |
