THE SOURCE: Cornerstone Series

We are pleased to present
The Cornerstone Series: Builders of the Breed.
Expanding on those illustrious breeders featured in our previous Founders series, we will now take a look at some of the influential breeders who had an Egyptian Arabian program in existence prior to the 1969 founding of The Pyramid Society.

Today we find horses from these programs in the pedigrees of most modern Egyptian Arabian horses. Once again we hope to provide a true understanding and a close connection to these remarkable breeders.

We start the series with an in depth look at the Marei family of Albadeia Stud, who in 2015 are celebrating 80 long years of continuously breeding the Straight Egyptian Arabian horse! A multi-generational effort, the Albadeia program has enjoyed tremendous success both showing and breeding. They have produced global winners, as well as bloodstock found in pedigrees worldwide.
