HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Syria is a traditional home-land of the purebred Arabian horse. For several centuries, successive waves of migrations of the Bedouin horse-breeding tribes have come and settled in the fertile lands in the country we now know as The Syrian Arab Republic, in particular to the areas known as Badiat Ash Sham and Al Jazirah, the latter being between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers These tribes and clans originated mainly from Yemen, the northern Nejd and Al Hijaz. These tribes included the Shammar; the Tai; the Enezah with its clans the Fedaan, the Sebaa, the Hasna, the Ruwala and the Weld Ali; the Hadideen; the Al Jboor, the Al Mawali, the Al Naim, the Iqaidat and many others. They brought their horses with them and have continued to breed them according to their particular tribe, clan or family’s strains and sub-strains, so the historical link is very strong as many of the horses are still bred by descendants of the founders of their strain to this day.

To quote from the introduction to the Syrian Stud Book Volume 1 “Lineal descent, traceable to the origin, was sacred to the Arabs, arising from their belief that mental and physical qualities are genetically inherited. The continuation and safety of the race depends upon the retention and strengthening of these traits. This principle was adopted to ensure their future and was applied as rigorously to the Arabian horse to safeguard its heritage. The Arabs were proud of their horses’ purity and would learn by heart their pedigrees, keeping them as if they were their own. The Arabs were so keen to preserve this purity that they never allowed a purebred mare to be impregnated except by a purebred stallion, under strict conditions, observed by the owners and trusted witnesses, even though such an act may have had to wait for years to be performed.”

Therefore the majority of the known Arabian strains, together with their sub-strains, are represented in Syria to this day. such as the Keheileh, the Saglawieh, the Shweimah, the Hadbaa, the Dahmaa, the Obayah, the Ma’anaghieh, the Hamdanieh. However the strain name alone is not considered sufficient identification in Syria. Verification of the origin and purity of a mare requires affiliation to one of these strains and also attribution to the owner. Thus, to give just a few examples, strains found in Syria include Saglawieh Jedranieh, Saglawieh Shaifieh, Shweimeh Sabbah, Obayah Sharakieh, Ma’anaghieh Sbeylieh, KeheiletAjuz Ibn Jleidan, Keheileh Da’ajanieh Kashra, Keheilet Krush Al Baida, Hamdanieh Ibn Ghorab, Hamdanieh Semrieh, Dahmaa Amer and so on.

It is a matter of historical fact, and one of great pride to the modern owners, that Arabian horses from Syria have been exported all over the world, ever since the earliest visits by horse-buying expeditions from the west, and can be found as foundation stock in nearly every major Arabian stud book in the world. The history of these exports is more than well documented so will not be repeated in this report.

GENERAL BACKGROUND TO THIS INVESTIGATION

At the 1998 WAHO Conference in Bahrain, Mr. Basil Jadaan informed the Executive Committee that WAHO’s approval of the Syrian stud book in 1990, following several years of investigative work by the Syrian Ministry of Agriculture and Arabian Horse Care Committee since 1984, had been of enormous importance in Syria. He then explained that there was known to be a group of horses which had not been included in the first Syrian stud book. It was believed that these horses would have all the same documentation and provenance as the accepted horses, but they had not been presented for registration by theirowners in the 1980s, for a number of reasons. Many of these people were from rural areas and from the traditional Bedouin horse-breeding and strain-owning families, who initially had not fully grasped the function of a stud book and feared their horses might be seized by the government or that they would somehow lose control over the provenance of their own horses. However, once the first stud book was published they did start to appreciate its purpose, and they also understood that the Government would not take any actions which would be detrimental to their horses or disadvantageous to themselves. They were therefore now prepared to present their horses for registration.

The Executive Committee therefore agreed in principle that Syria should go ahead and thoroughly investigate all previously unregistered horses, and should present its case to WAHO, subject to a final visit to Syria by a WAHO Investigation and Inspection Committee. One of the considerations behind this decision was the WAHO principle of justice, of inclusion rather than exclusion and the support that WAHO gives to individual Arabian horse owners and breeders through their respective Registries. This decision was supported by the General Assembly at Bahrain in 1998, when they voted not to close the world’s Arabian horse stud books to new desert bred horses, until the investigations of any additionalacceptable horses were completed.

From 1998 to 2002 the WAHO Office kept in close contact with the Syrian Arabian Horse Bureau as they undertook the extensive and time-consuming task of investigating the additional horses that were presented to them for registration. Finally, in the spring and summer of 2002, the work in Syria was completed and a visit was made by the WAHO Investigation and Inspection Committee as detailed in this Report. In accordance with WAHO rules, the WAHO committee’s travel and accommodation expenses during their busy trip were met by the Syrian Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform.

It should be noted that all the arguments which were brought forward by the Syrian Delegates in Bahrain in 1998 were confirmed in all meetings which the WAHO Investigation and Inspection Committee had during their visits to various places and discussions with different owners and breeders. In particular, discussions with the Bedouin breeders in Al Jazirah were very interesting, as they showed clearly that these owners were convinced in their own minds about the purity of their horses, mainly due to the fact that they were a heritage from their ancestors. Some of their arguments and reasoning were extremely simple but straightforward, and both together conveyed a convincing impression of integrity and honesty.

THE SYRIAN ARABIAN HORSE STUD BOOKS

The Syrian stud book authority, The Arabian Horse Bureau, is a Directorate of the Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform. The current Director of the Arabian Horse Bureau, Mr. Mohammed Al Wadi, answers directly to the Minister of Agriculture, Professor Dr. Nour Elddin Mona.

The WAHO Investigation and Inspection Committee were well aware that the Syrian Stud Books, of which there are now four published volumes, are unique in the world. The introduction to Volume One gives a complete and detailed explanation of the methods used to register the foundation horses in that stud book, a method which has been followed with all subsequent registrations, and has been adapted and strengthened for the investigations into the previously unregistered horses. Each entry for each horse presents a complete record, giving not only the registered name but also the full strain of each horse in the pedigree, together with all the owners of all the horses in the pedigree at the time of registration.

This traditional method of retaining strain-names and sub-strain names, which are each specifically linked to particular families within the Bedouin horse-breeding tribes in Syria is a priceless historical record and is of great value to pedigree researchers all over the world. To delete all this information for the additional horses by just using the term ‘desert bred’ for unregistered antecedents, when known and certified pedigrees are in existence, was considered to be unnecessary and detrimental. It was therefore agreed that Syria could maintain the same format for the additional horses, when accepted, and for their future stud books.

Following the 1998 WAHO Conference in Bahrain, the Syrian Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform passed a Ministerial Decree in order to set in motion the detailed rules needed for the investigations into accepting previously unregistered Arabian horses. The existing Arabian Horse Care Committee remained in charge, and an additional Investigation Committee was formed which included sub-committees and local Arabian horse experts for each Province, and a Rebuttal Committee.

Advertisements were placed in newspapers and on the television, notifying owners and breeders of the proposed investigations into any eligible unregistered pure bred horses. For the past four years individuals from these committees, which come directly under the authority of the Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform, have been travelling all over Syria, examining documents and taking sworn statements from the owners of the subject horses. (See Appendix A).

The officials working for the Ministry were very strict with their requirements. They asked for detailed statements and written provenance for every subject horse submitted. This included covering certificates and sworn witnessed statements for the provenance of every horse within three generations and a ‘hojja’, which is an Arabic hand written sworn statement of authentication containing a pedigree certified by signatures, thumb prints, seals and stamps. These statements are all required to be certified as true by swearing on the Koran.

7

Of the horses investigated, many were rejected by the Syrian committees for a variety ofreasons; for example those with pedigrees which could not be proven; not tracing to knownstrains that could be certified by the strain owner, in other words the dam-line of every horse within the three generations had to go back to the original breeder’s family and any interruption in the chain of ownership would mean rejection; incorrect identification; contradiction of evidence; missing information, and so on. The committee members interviewed every single applicant by visiting each area (province) and going to every village in which the horses were located. As there are many thousands of such villages in Syria, it will be appreciated that this procedure took nearly four years, and involved the head of the Field Investigation team, Eng. M. Ghayath Al-Shayeb, in an almost continuous 18 months of travel, with 15 different major field trips. Syria is a very large country, and on most days he would drive some 400 kilometres.

The first step was for the regional committees to meet with each owner or breeder who had submitted a request for registration. Every owner or breeder who submitted information was interviewed, and his verbal statements were then checked against written documents. Any contradictions between written and verbal evidence resulted in rejection.

Having visited the horse owners and taken the first statements and collected the first documents, done the markings and photographed the horses, a further visit would be made later, to independently corroborate witness statements, to interview any person who had signed any form, and to check with strain owners that the details of the chain of ownership were correct. Once this was satisfactorily completed, the blood samples would be taken and shipped to Germany for blood-typing and, where possible, parent verification.

Finally a detailed pedigree for all horses which passed the stringent acceptance procedures was prepared, ready to present to the WAHO Inspection and Investigation Committee. For this report, the new horses have been given registration numbers with the Prefix B, to differentiate them from previously registered horses whose registration numbers starts with the prefix A. It should be noted that horses further back in pedigrees, some of which date back to the 1940’s, have not been given registration numbers.

The pedigrees were studied by the WAHO Investigation and Inspection Committee. It soon became evident noticed that some of the horses concerned were the produce of previously registered horses. Others had one ‘new’ parent and one which was previously registered. A further group had one parent previously registered and the other unegistered. In addition, detailed study or published Syrian stud books showed that a great many of the new horses were either closely related to previously registered horses, in some cases full siblings, or had previously registered horses further back within their pedigrees. A detailed analysis has therefore been carried out of the numbers of totally new horses; the produce of one registered parent and one non registered parent; the produce of one registered parent and one newly registered parent or of two newly registered parents; and those that might be termed late registrations. This is shown in the table at the end of this Report (Appendix B), which it is hoped will be self-explanatory.

MEETING WITH THE MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE H.E. PROF. DR. NOUR ELDDIN MONA

On the morning of Wednesday 24th July, His Excellency The Minister of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform, Professor Dr. Nour Elddin Mona, met the members of the WAHO Inspection & Investigation Committee together with Mr. Basil Jadaan and members of theSyrian Horse Care Committee, headed by Mr Mohammed Al Wadi, Director of the Arabian Horse Bureau. Also present were members of regional Ministry of Agriculture directorates and the Head of the Syrian Equestrian Federation.

The Minister confirmed his support of the work being done by the Arabian Horse Care Committee to approve registration of new horses that had been omitted from the previous stud books and thanked WAHO for their support. However, he expressed his concerns that the Arabian Horse Care Committee had rejected a very high percentage of the horses presented for registration, and in particular that the Rebuttal committee had also refused a number of appeals. He had received a number of complaints regarding these refusals when visiting the provincial offices of his Ministry, and believed from the evidence he had heard that some of these rejections were unfair and should be re-considered. Dr. Hans-J. Nagel explained that the WAHO Investigation and Inspection Committee would be willing, if required, to look into all the appeals in conjunction with the members of the Syrian Investigation Committee and Arabian Horse Bureau. He made it clear that the WAHO Inspection & Investigation Committee were there to make every effort to ensure a thorough and detailed consideration had been made for every horse, as this was the last chance that Syria had to include previously unregistered but eligible Arabian horses.

The Minister again explained that the people who had not initially presented their horses for registration were mainly from traditional rural communities of Bedouin horse-breeding and strain-owning families, who initially had not fully grasped the function of a stud book and feared their horses might be seized by the government or that they would somehow lose control of their own horses. This was a comment we heard time and time again from many different people throughout our visit.

The meeting concluded with the Minister confirming his support for the purebred Arabian horses of Syria, and for the World Arabian Horse Organization.

VISITS TO THE SYRIAN ARABIAN HORSE BUREAU

The members of the WAHO Inspection & Investigation Committee first visited the Arab Horse Bureau on Wednesday 24 July after their visit with the Minister of Agriculture.

Basil Jadaan and Mr. Mohammed Al Wadi explained in detail the full procedures, rules and committee structures that had been put into place to investigate the previously unregistered horses during the past four years. They explained that the common interest was more important than individual interests, because the Syrian Government considered the Arabian Horses to be part of the Syrian national heritage. He added that they are not only the treasures of the owners, but also of the country and of the world Arabian horse community.

The Arabian Horse Care Committee had decided to effect very strict rules for acceptance, as indeed there had been for the acceptance of horses into Volume One, to secure the future of the purebred Arabian horses of Syria, so that only those with full provenance would be registered and breed on into the future. They felt that the next generations of owners and breeders would depend on the work done not only by the Syrian Committees, but also by the WAHO Committee, because if it was not seen to be carried out properly there might be accusations of loss of purity which is of paramount importance in Syria, and can only be preserved by applying rigorous rules and being seen to adhere to those rules. It was explained that the Syrian Committees had wanted to do everything properly so the world could see they had done something to be proud of, that the horses were registered purebred Arabians without any doubts. The Syrian Committees were of the opinion that the world should trust the horses in their books, and for that to happen, they had to do their job carefully and correctly, which is what they believed had been done.

There were then a number of minor queries to be resolved, which had been prepared in advance by the WAHO Office, from the information and pedigrees which had previouslybeen sent there. It was noted that every question asked was answered almost immediately with any necessary supporting documentation to hand. All queries were quickly and satisfactorily resolved. Some horses with progeny which had been investigated but which were known to have died in the meanwhile and had therefore been deleted from the list of horses presented to WAHO, were reinstated and will be given registration numbers.

The standard of the record keeping could not be faulted. Every horse, not only those being presented for acceptance, but all horses previously registered in existing stud books, had a detailed dossier. This dossier contained photographs, markings, blood type reports and parent verification reports where available, 3 to 5 generation pedigrees, breeding history, covering certificates, ownership history, and in all cases of completely new horses an original ‘hojja’for the subject horse, sworn on the Koran.

Other official documents and registry-issued forms such as covering certificates, identification forms, pedigrees, and change of ownership forms were also examined. All horses are freeze branded on the right side of their neck at the time of registration.Registration certificates are produced and issued but not passports.

10

Dr. Abu Bakre El Arifi, currently Consultant and Registrar in Qatar, promised to send a sample of the Qatar passport to the Bureau for them to use as a guide for producing their own passport, as it complies with all WAHO and international requirements. The Arabian Horse Bureau does have computers, but as yet no computerised studbook system, so all registration certificates and pedigrees are produced manually and typed individually.

The WAHO committee cross-questioned the Registrar and his staff on their registration procedures and were more than satisfied with their answers. They considered the knowledge and expertise of the members of the Arabian Horse Bureau were of the highest calibre.

Two further visits were made to the Registry Office to continue studying documents and paperwork, and to complete the information required by the WAHO Investigation and Inspection Committee in order to prepare this Report. Particular thanks are owed to Mr. Waleed Khazna, who spent many hours typing all the pedigrees of the horses presented for approval.

PUREBRED ARABIAN SHOWING, RACING AND ENDURANCE IN SYRIA

The WAHO Inspection & Investigation Committee were also interested to learn about the activities in which Syrian Arabian horses take part. One point of particular importance was the founding of the Syrian Arabian State Stud, known as The Centre of Martyr Basil Hafez Al-Assad of Asil Arabian Horses in honour of the son of the late President. Basil Hafez Al-Assad, who was tragically killed in a car-accident, was a very succesful horseman who had been a great supporter of Arabian horses and the first stud books so it was fitting that the State Stud was named in his honour. This Stud, set on a large acreage near Damascus with space for some 250 horses, has been founded to preserve the bloodlines and characteristics of Syrian Arabians without introducing any imported horses into the pedigrees.

For many of the private owners as well, simply carrying on their national tradition of breeding purebred Arabians was their main aim, and they saw no need for any particular additional activities. However, we learned that riding is a popular activity in Syria, and the foremost equestrian sport is show-jumping, although the riders generally compete on warm-bloods, not Arabians. Arabian horses are also used in riding schools, for pleasure riding, as carriage horses in the towns, and for general farm work in the more rural areas. All organised horse activities come under The Syrian Federation for Equestrian Sport.

In 2001 the first ever Arabian Horse Show was held in Damascus, which proved a popular event with the private breeders, so this initiative is likely to be continued. It should be noted that breeding horses just for beauty and showing, as is the trend in the west, is totally alien to the culture of the Middle East and of course to the original Bedouin breeders of the Arabian horse. However, a handful of Syrian Arabians have travelled abroad in the past to compete in international shows, where they have both won and been placed. A small number of private breeders are therefore now using imported stallions as they concentrate part of their breeding programmes on producing horses that will be able to compete in the modern show ring.

11

Endurance is another sport which is growing very fast in popularity, especially with the encouragement and assistance given by the United Arab Emirates in the region. At present, the Equestrian Federation organises two Endurance rides each year, a 120km ride in Palmyra and a 80km ride in Damascus. A few Syrian Arabian horses have also competed internationally, and done well. Further endurance rides conducted under FEI and international Endurance rules are planned, and there are a increasing number of enthusiastic competitors taking part, including horses and riders from the State Stud.

As regards racing, the tradition of testing Arabian horses to see which is the fastest or the strongest is one of the oldest in the breed, and the Syrian horse owners and breeders are no exception to this rule. When the Committee visited the Tai and Shammar breeders in Al Jazirah, it was notable that the young boys were keen to show us their horses’ athletic abilities. At the home of Sheikh Muhamed Abdull Razaq Al Ta’ai near Al Qamishli we saw several colts, all ridden bareback by their young owners who were simply enjoying the chance to match their horses’ speed against each other.

At the home of Sheikh Mezer Ojail Abdull Kareem of the Shammar in Al Hassaka, a slightlylonger race across the desert with about 5 mares taking part was arranged for our entertainment, it seemed that this was a regular activity. One of the mares taking part was 22 years old. The ‘finishing line’ appeared to be exactly where our group was standing, and it took a strong nerve to stand still as the horses approached at full speed in a cloud of dust! Scenes like these have been played out in the traditional Arabian horse breeding areas since time immemorial, and it was a privilege to witness such a scene in the 21st Century.

From discussion with many of the horse owners and breeders that we met, one of the most popular activities in which people would like to compete is racing, but at present there is very little official horse racing in Syria. Syria is not a member of any International Racing Federation, the rules and regulations are laid down and applied by The Syrian Federation for Equestrian Sport. Betting in Syria is strictly forbidden by law.

The Equestrian Federation does arrange some flat racing for Thoroughbreds (mainly unregistered), registered Purebred Arabians, and local-bred unregistered horses. The race season runs from April until October. There are 7 main race meetings during a season, of which 3 are International and 4 are National. At each meeting there is just one race for registered Purebred Arabians. The private breeders have recently been asking the Equestrian Federation to put on more races for their registered Arabians. The race-tracks are at Damascus, Lattakia, Palmyra and Hama. The provinces also run local racing and hold around 10 meetings per year between them. We were informed that there is no prize money for racing, only small gifts and trophies.

Some owners do send their horses abroad to race, for example to Lebanon and Qatar. A few Syrian Arabians have raced in the Emirates, but they do not seem able to compete for speed against the horses with French and American bloodlines. One or two private breeders haverecently imported stallions, for example one from USA via the UAE, and one from France, in order to breed horses which they believe will be better able to compete internationally. In these endeavours they are no different from Arabian horse breeders all over the world, seeking improvement in each generation.

12

Any fears or concerns that such horses might damage or even over-populate the Arabian horse world outside Syria, especially on the racetracks, is without foundation. In the main, these horses still resemble most closely the original foundation horses exported to the west so long ago, they have not been changed by showring fashions or racetrack requirements. It should be said that eligibility for registration was unrelated to the phenotype of the horses, but only to their proven origin as purebred Arabians. However, despite the fact that the majority of these horses do not conform to current western showring ‘type’, the WAHO Investigation and Inspection Committee could not fail to notice the many qualities that are the undoubted signature of the original ‘desert-bred’ Arabian - gentle temperaments, fine black skin, hair quality, large flexible nostrils, excellent necks with clean throatlatch, goodshoulders, strong backs, clean limbs and in particular, the hallmark tail-set and tail carriage. It was also noticeable that in one generation, those horses which were sired by the few imported Egyptian, Russian or American stallions had not lost those qualities but the heads in particular were enhanced.

VISITS TO STUD FARMS

There is no room in this report to fully do justice to the kindness and hospitality shown to the WAHO Investigation and Inspection Committee wherever we visited. Our programme was packed from the moment of arrival to departure, we visited many stud farms as detailed in the diary of events, saw hundreds of horses, and had many fascinating discussions. To everyone we met, we extend our most heartfelt and sincere thanks.

There is, however, just enough room to relate one occurrence, which we believe highlights the importance of the Arabian horse in Syria to the people whose lives have been intertwined with them for so many hundreds of years.

We were privileged to visit Al Sheikh Mezer Ojail Abdull Kareem, leader of the Al Jarba clan of the Shammar Tribe. The Sheikh himself owned a particularly fine grey mare of theObeyah Seheilieh strain which has been in their family since long before they migrated from northern Nejd. When asked if she was registered he replied that she was not, explaining ‘There is no need for me to register her in any book. She is registered in my heart’.

This kind of passion for their horses was instantly recognizable in all the Syrian people we met. The Sheikh thanked WAHO for the time and trouble they had taken to examine the Syrian horses. He said that through WAHO the world would be aware of their Arabian horses, which the different families and tribes had been breeding for hundreds of years. He said that they were proud to share with the world what they consider a national treasure and priceless heritage – the purebred Arabian horse of the desert.

The connection with the past was strengthened when the Sheikh also mentioned that Lady Anne & Wilfrid Blunt had met his aunt’s grandfather Sheikh Faris, who had been ruler of the Shammar when they visited Mesopotamia on a horse-buying expedition in the 1870s. (See “Lady Anne Blunt - Journals and Correspondence 1878-1917, edited by Rosemary Archer & James Fleming”).

CONCLUSIONS OF THE INSPECTION & INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE

It should be noted that Syria first contacted WAHO in 1984, and has been a Registering Authority Member of WAHO in good standing for many years. Their first Stud Book was accepted and approved under the WAHO Definition in 1990. It has since produced fourvolumes of the Syrian Arabian Stud Book. It must be emphasised that for the purpose of this visit and this report, the WAHO Inspection and Investigation Committee were only there to examine the evidence on the previously unregistered horses that were omitted from the previous stud books.

Having thoroughly scrutinised the records and documents held by The Arab Horse Bureau on all the horses presented for registration, the WAHO Inspection & Investigation Committeewere in full agreement that the registering procedures at the office were of an extremely high standard and could not be faulted in any respect. The filing system was detailed and precise; a horse’s file with its full history could be obtained in seconds. The Arabian Horse Care Committee, which was responsible for the initial investigation into the new horses, had implemented their own very strict rules to the letter, and would not bend these rules for anybody. The integrity of the Director and his staff and their undoubted knowledge and expertise on the Arabian horses of Syria were unimpeachable.

During the four years that the local Field Investigation team criss-crossed Syria, a total of 1,787 horses were investigated of which 948 horses were in Al Jazirah Province. It should be noted that the horses are all from the known strains and families already present in published stud books, and many are in fact closely related to previously registered horses.

From the total number originally investigated, 45 were breeding stallions. 34 of those stallions were rejected, with the resulting rejection of all their progeny. This part of the investigation was particularly time-consuming, as all a great deal of cross-checking of pedigrees was required to eliminate all those with the rejected stallions in their pedigrees. By the end of the first phase of the investigation, at least one third of the horses presented for registration had been rejected.

By the end of the second phase, during which initial statements and documents had to be corroborated independently, a further large number were rejected. The decisions and the reasons for acceptance or rejection were published and announced in the Provincial Ministry of Agriculture Directorates and regional Arabian Horse offices. Owners were then given a set amount of time to provide missing information or documents, and to appeal against rejection. From those rejected, 462 were the subject of appeals which were passed to the Rebuttal Committee. 52 of these were then accepted and the remainder of the rejections were confirmed. Again these decisions were published and announced in the regional centres.

As the WAHO Inspection & Investigation Committee had promised during their meeting the H.E. The Minister of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform, they also re-examined all the cases which were the subject of further formal appeals. They only looked into those cases which the Arabian Horse Bureau were prepared to re-open, as they considered that owners of rejected horses who had not appealed had accepted the decisions of the Arabian Horse Care Committee and Rebuttal Committee.

14

As a result, 31 cases were re-examined, one of which related to a particular stallion which was the sire or grand-sire of a further 28 horses. It was considered that of these, 8 should remain on the rejected list due to insufficient or conflicting evidence, the remainder were accepted.

The Syrian Arabian Stud Book Authority have agreed that no further previously unregistered horses will be presented for approval or added to their stud books in the future.

The final total which have full provenance and documentations and have been approved by the Syrian Committees and which are presented for acceptance by WAHO number 280. All living horses have been blood-typed and, where possible, parent verified. Of these:

43 are new registrations, with both sire and dam not previously registered, although a number of the antecedents do appear in pedigrees in the published stud books.

111 are what could be termed “half-new” horses with one parent either previously registered or newly registered, and the other parent not registered.

110 are the progeny of a combination of sires and dams previously registered and registered within the new group.

16 are the progeny of previously registered parents, making them essentially late registrations.

THE TOTAL OF ‘NEW’ HORSES PRESENTED FOR ACCEPTANCE IS THEREFORE 154. IF THESE ARE ACCEPTED, IT FOLLOWS THAT THE REMAINING 110PROGENY SHOULD ALSO BE ACCEPTED, TOGETHER WITH THE 16 LATE REGISTRATIONS.

This list is therefore comprehensive and final, and comprises the total number of horses presented to WAHO for approval and acceptance into the Syrian Arabian Stud Book Volume 5. (See Appendix B)

RECOMMENDATION TO THE WAHO EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND TO THE WAHO VOTING DELEGATES

At a meeting held in Damascus, Syria, on Friday 26 July, the WAHO Inspection and Investigation Committee were unanimous in their decision that the horses listed in Appendix B should be accepted. They hereby recommend, in the first instance to the WAHO Executive Committee, and then to the General Assembly at the next WAHO Conference in Istanbul 2002, as follows:-

The members of the WAHO Investigation and Inspection Committee to Syria hereby recommend that the 155 horses listed in Appendix B, together with their 110 progeny and the 16 late registrations, as investigated and approved by the Syrian Arabian Horse Care Committee, be accepted by WAHO for registration and be duly entered in the Syrian Stud Book Volume 5, thereby coming within the WAHO Definition.

FOOTNOTE:At the 2002 WAHO Conference in Istanbul, the voting Delegates approved the above additional horses for acceptance, by a very large majority. These horses are therefore now accepted by the World Arabian Horse Organization and fall within the WAHO Definition.
