History and Background Also called Egyptian Horse, the Baladi is an Egyptian horse of questionable bloodlines.
The Egyptian Horse is no longer an individual breed as it once was. There has been significant “Arabization” of the indigenous horses of Egypt, due to the short distance between Arabia and the Nile. The resulting animals come from a combinations of Arabian bloodlines and are unable to be registered.
An influx of English Thoroughbred blood was added for increased speed and size, but because of their lack of papers these animals are shunned by breeders and tribesmen.
Although they are still magnificent animals and often faster over short distances, (but not as hardy over distance as the pureblood Arabian).
