The Shagya-Arabian is the refined continuation - on an international purebred basis - of the "Arabian-Rasse" (Arabian Bred) horse of the Hungarian and Austrian state studs of Bábolna, Mezoehegyes and Radautz. The breeding goal is a large framed horse of Arabian-type suitable as a noble riding or carriage horse. While the studbooks of these national associations are now closed, the periodic inclusion of purebred Arabian bloodlines is still allowed.
To be registered in a PShR Shagya Book I category a horse must have an origin traceable back, on both the sire and the dam side, to the state and private Austro-Hungarian Arabian studs and which are listed or are eligible for registration in an ISG-approved studbook. In addition to the RZBO guidelines, the PShR has developed additional categories of Studbooks III & IV for horses influenced by Shagya bloodlines.
The PShR Studbook Categories are based on the ISG standards of the General Studbook Regulation Framework (RZBO). These categories evaluate the pedigree and performance of each horse as an individual to determine his or her placement in the studbook. This continued evaluation of each horse maintains the continuation of breeding a Shagya horse in the tradition of the original expectation of high standards.
