In the Tradition of Generations

FILSINGER ARABIANS is one of the very first private straight Egyptian breeding programmes in Europe. The studfarm is located about 120 km south to Frankfurt and 120 km north to Stuttgart.

The founder, the late Dr. Erwin Filsinger started the programme with the first purebred Arabian horses in 1957. Only a very few years later, he became the first private breeder in Germany to concentrate on straight Egyptian breeding - with the great success that is known for today!

 
 

The Past .....

 
 

Filsinger Arabians is the home of the famous and most influential MALIKAH (Ghazal x Malacha). She is one of the three foundation mares of the Filsingers' straight Egyptian breding programme. Described as the "Queen of straight Egyptian breeding", MALIKAH achieved a most dominant and valuable influence worldwide (see and read more about in 'Portrait') She was a classical Dahman Shahwan in bloodline and strain as well as also in her overall appearance.

MALIKAH is the Foundation Mare of the straight Egyptian breeding programme at Filsinger Arabians. She is from the most valuable Dahman Shahwan strain, and honored as an ELITE Mare by the German Arab Horse Society, the VZAP.

Her influence dominates throughout and toward the future generations. All Filsinger Arabians at stud trace back to MALIKAH, at least once, or more times. The two other foundation mares of the straight Egyptian breeding programme were both born in 1967, were both from the Kuhailan Rodan line, and both imported from El Zahraa, in Egypt: ZABIA (Tuhotmos x Zahda/ by Morafic) and NAZEFFA (Gassir x Nazic/ by Morafic).

MALIKAH arrived in 1962 at the stud, and following that Dr. Filsinger and his wife imported two MORAFIC grand daughters, ZABIA and NAZEEFA, from the EAO/ El Zahraa Stud in 1969.
Since the Marbach State Stud and the late Count Knyphausen had been importing from Egypt, Hadban Enzahi, Ghazal and Moheba/ Malacha, these mares with the Filsingers, together with two other mares for friends, were the very first imported from El Zahraa and Egypt to Germany.

Today, and for more than two decades, the breeding programme of 'Filsinger Arabians' is continued by Frank Filsinger, the son of the stud's founder. He focussed his lines very early to homebred MAYMOON, a Malikah grandson and with all three "German" Nazeer sons (Kaisoon, Hadban Enzahi, Ghazal) in direct line in his pedigree.

Also to the home bred MANAL, a Malikah son by the U.S. imported Anchor Hill Halim adding the valuable Babson and Sirecho blood ....

... and to home bred NABIL IBN NAZEEFA, a double Morafic bred and carrying the valuable Bint Kateefa blood in his pedigree through his sire Farag (Morafic x Bint Kateefa), and also MAYMOON's sire Kaisoon (Nazeer x Bint Kateefa) - both sires have been adding size, elegance, and the elegant long necks in the breeding progamme and horses of the Filsinger Arabians' bloodstock.

All three foundation stallions, MAYMOON; MANAL and NABIL IBN NAZEEFA - are strongly represented in the studfarm through several sons and daughters and their progeny.

On the female side, it is very strongly the MALIKAH blood, in tail female line as well as in inbreeding and linebreeding. Today, each horse at the stud, carries the MALIKAH blood once or more times. Her influence comes from sire as well as dam's side, and especially through her daughters MUNIFAH Bint Malikah (by Maymoon), MARANI el Malikah (by Maymoon), and MAISA (Hadban Enzahi x Malikah) and her daughter, MANSOURA Bint Maisa (by Maymoon), with her daughters, MINDIF Bint Mansoura and MAHA Bint Mansoura. And the other major tail female line comes from ZABIA through her daughter ZEENAH (by Kaisoon) and again ZEENAH's daughters and grand daughters combined with the MANAL and the MAYMOON blood.

The studfarm was established 50 years ago - and the group of horses seen there is a gene pool of most valuable bloodlines, a group of horses that represent quality, type, grace and spirit, and come from the tradition of excellence. The horses are stamped from the close linebreeding done over years to those very special and outstanding individuals, and some of the today's horses at stud are representing more than six generations of Filsinger Arabians in their pedigree.

 
     
 

The Present ...

 
     
 

Today, the MANAL son MOGADOR EL MALIK and the NABIL IBN NAZEEFA sons MAHARAN EL NABIL and ZEYMOON EL NABIL, and the MAYMOON son SHEIKH MAYMOON are the present young herdsires influencing in the Filsinger's breeding prgramme and it's future.

Filsinger Arabians and all bloodlines used in this breeding programme are accepted by all the major organizations, including WAHO, VZAP, the Pyramid Society, the Asil Club, Al Khamsa, and the Blue List!

The present major herd sires, broodmares, and youngsters all carry on the blood and qualities of this exquisite straight Egyptian breeding programme in the third, fourth, fifth, sixth or even seventh generation.

At Filsinger Arabians, you find a group of thirty of the finest straight Egyptian horses from a well funded genetic pool, some of the representatives of broodmares and youngsters at stud are pictured below, for example:
