the English in its endurance for carry-ing weights, besides that horse dance only exist in Egypt and there are plenty of coaches and experts for that purpose. Master Hussein Abd Al-lah )one of the workers in Abu Pa-sha stable(, says: Horses are faithful and loyal and they are considered the main source of income to the region>s families but nowadays is no longer the same, as tourism level declined due to the events that took a place in Egypt dur-ing and after the rise of the revolution, plus horse riding is one of the strong factors in attracting tourists and helping strengthen the egyptian economy. Hussein also added that he longs for the old days to return that used to be held nearby the pyramids area and used to generate a good in-come for everyone in nazlet el sim-man.

As for Ahmed Eid )holder of Art Bachelor( & one of the living in na-zlet el simman )the most well known area for horse riding(, says: there are lots of kinds when it comes to horses, such as: Arabian, French, Italian, Eng-lish and all the rest of kinds, and there are some tourists demand a certain kind of horses to ride and all are avail-able under request, as it represents the main income for us and we don>t

practice any other profession, there-

fore we give a good attention to our

horses and we look after them a lot.

Horse riding is a career associated to

tourism and exists everywhere where

monuments exist. There is also the

horses race which gets held in the

desert of the pyramids

area, which is an an-

cient sport associated

to pyramids area, but

it has been developed

since the tourism level

got less as we had to

spread this sport be-

tween the living and

the citizens of the re-

gion and we have suc-

cessfully accomplished a weekly race

held nearby the pyramids spot, so we

could invest some cash for our homes

and families.

Ahmed Eid also demands the

political parties to put and differenc-

es and misunderstandings aside to

unite so we could get through this

tough period that occurs in Egypt and

make a better living atmosphere for

the whole country and its people. We

are witnessing a new year and we

want Egypt to be the same like before

and even much better, so the tourism

comes back once more, to gener-

ate a good income and to encourage

people who intend to sell their horse

not to do so, after everything is gone

and stables remain quiet and without

horse races everything would have

been lost as there are no other pro-

fessions we practice.

said: the nature of his work requires patience and dealing nicely with the horses that are considered the main source of income for him and the rest of his family and that he awaits like so many others, the tourism to come back to normal and he and his col-leagues learned the im-portance of maintain-ing the tourists arrivals to Egypt, stability and great hospitality. He also added that tourists come to the Pyramids area from all over the world, therefore I care to wash the horse be-fore I go out of my home in the morn-ing because it is the main source of my income and so on the rest of the families who work in this industry in nazlet el simman, as Horse riding and rental is associated with tourism, the same like any other touristic place in Egypt and that they are both two faces to one coin.

In the same context, Ibrahim Mahmoud one of the living in na-zlet el simman, also agrees with Mustafa, that stressed on the im-portance of horse rental and being the main source of income, plus the competitions that run in the pyramids desert and that also generates in-come for him, the tourist is accurate, fair and very clever when it comes to his choice of the horse, therefore we wash the horses continuously and

decorate them as if they would dance. It is our commitment to this career for being the reason for all the good that supports so many families and for be-ing the legacy our parents and grand parents left to us.

On another hand, master Mussa>d Ali )Horses coach(, says: this career is our legacy and it goes from a generation to another, it is the only main income to us and there is nothing else. Horse riding is such a wonderful hobby and it is exciting for tourists

to come over to Egypt to ride egyp-tian horses, especially that our sta-bles are next to the wonderful area of

the three great pyramids at the end of Al Haram street which is consid-ered the main area for horse riding in Cairo, and the prices varies from 30 up to 200 egyptian pounds, plus there are two kinds of trips: the short one is an excursion that lasts approximately for 45 minutes, while the long trip is a similar excursion but it lasts longer and of course more expensive.

It is noted that there are lots of stables in that region such as: El Jabry, Abu Aziza and Abu Pa-sha as our horses understand by a glance and that>s because we raise them up since they are so young and they recognize the strangers and don>t allow them to deal with them. Authentic Arabian horses are the fastest in learning how to dance and

Hussein Abd Al-lah: Horses rental associated with tourism

News & reports

Horses rental is considered the main income for many families espe-cially those who are living near monu-ments populated areas and in a result to spread tourist riding in front of the pyramids and temples, citizens had cloned sport horse racing before the pyramids and numerous horses own-ers confirmed that horse rental is the main source of their income and that families there depend on that industry totally as it could generate an income of 200 egyptian pounds a day, but that fact has no longer exist since the beginning of the revolution.

In this context, Adel El Sheikh )55 years old(, who owns 4 horses and one carriage and depend and his

sons on tourists to rent his horses, says:

Days are not similar to each other in Nazlet El Simman as someday he could earn good funds and the next day gets less as it is all in God>s hand, plus it is such an amazing ca-reer and it has taught me a lot such as speak-ing three languages de-spite of my low level of education. Also added that the most important advantage in a horse is to be strong, clean, active and not lazy, so the tour-ist admires it and comes back con-

tinuously to ride it again and again in nazlet el simman. There are well known families there that owns big stables and it is known worldwide

such as families of: Khattab, Eljabry Abu Breesh, Abu Aziza, Turky, Fayed, El Helw, Al Shaer, Abu Zeid, Ghuneim, Abu Pa-sha, Al Qammaty, and Al Waleely, some of these families belong to tribes from Arabian Peninsula and that most sons of these

him and sometimes blood comes out from the horse>s mouth. Other times beaten the horse with the whip with-out justification just to scare him and sometimes hitting him with a minnow stick to teach the horse how to raise his legs while dancing. This process has a particular way and the trainer must be experienced, patient and to have a very affectionate and sensi-tive hand in leading the horse bridle or by using a bridle that is not harmful such as the German bridle- not to be vio-lent with the horse with by di-rect dealing and he must hold the bridle tight. It is up to the coach and his specifications, is he tough or he deals nicely as compassion is the best way to deal with the horse, while the cruelty makes the horse does ag-gressive and violent responses, , And does not obey his trainer com-mands. As for the music in the horse dance show, drum and oboe are the most known types and are played during practicing this art, noting that the horse doesn>t listen to music for dancing, but comply with the move-ments of the rider from pulling bridle in a certain way or move it by light strikes on the body of the horse. The horse is chosen based on the experi-

ence of the rider or horse trainer and also psychological comfort for the horse who will be training.

Most important Mustang in horse>s literature is )Bahir( - a local horse and not Arabic - a son of a famous stallion called )Narrator(- an authen-tic Arab horse despite this fact, it is still maintaining its position as the best in horse literature.

Coach choice depends on horse figure, his acceptance to training and with privilege as following:

light flexible and graceful movement, warm blood, slim bone and quick responses of intuition and attention. Often training takes approximately

three years after riding.

Ironically, the most famous horse (bahir) was sold first time with only )2000 pounds(.

Medhat Al Bitar from Kafr Al Ziyat )Egypt(, considered the best coach for horse literature in Egypt and there are schools and families that work in this field such as:

- Ahmed Al Bitar & sons: Hisham, Mohamed and Medhat. - Abu Mur-ra & sons and some of his family: Ahmed Khalil, Ahmed Abd Al Aziz

and Badr Shetaiwy. - Sarhan & sons: Karam, Hisham, Ma>rouf & Has-san. - Al Baragily & sons: Mohamed & Mahmoud. Ghazal: Mohamed & Khaled.

This is a separate art stems: either a hobby that grew with time as love Or as a profession or trade.

clever Horse which is known with his high performance in dance is priceless.

Literature has tools as a reward or punishment, reward to be by giving sugar, apple or by going in a picnic with his Jockey or trainer.

Punishment is by hitting the horse with simple movements to teach the horse that he did a mistake and that he shall not repeat such a thing ever again.

It is known that art needs to divert substantial amounts of training and a duration of training ranging from one year up to two years.

He was walking in the race quickly a bit, watching the event from beginning and then in the last 800 meters, he won the first place with leadership of Cava-lier Sylvester de Sousa and trained by Trainer Sami Aharabi. Also, Ad-das was able to cut the distance of 2400 meters in a time of 2,32,90.

In the second place, there is the horse fighter Al Saif Al Agrab of the sons of King Abdullah bin Ab-dul Aziz,Trainer Badr Saud Rizieq and Cavalier Roberto Perez. In the third place, we see Gadal of His Royal Highness Prince Faisal bin Khalid bin Abdulaziz, trained by

Trainer Sami Aharabi and Cavalier Jose Sanchez. The fourth place won by Siror belongs to sons of King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Badr Saud, trained by Trainer Rizieq and Cavalier Muhammad Daham. While the fifth place was to Sm-har of His Royal Highness Prince Faisal bin Khalid bin Abdulaziz, Trainer Sami Aharabi and Cavalier Abdullah Aledeib.

As for the Heir Apparent Cup for the importer, Fly Down, a horse luxurious owned by the sons of King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, has proved and confirmed his brilliance and strength and that he has no competitor in Saudi Arabia. All of that came after his outstanding performance when he dominated in the beginning of the race at the last turn. He ran so fast with an outstanding performance. The in-ternational Fly Down was trained by Trainer Badan Subaie. While Kamilao Ospina won the first place and cut the distance of 2400 me-ters in a time 2,31,36.

The most famous horses deaths in 2013

Irish horse Shine was deadwhich was believed to be the oldest horse in the world,

after it was nearly 51 years old, which is equivalent, ac-cording to the British newspaper Daily Mail said, 120 years ago at the age of humans.

The newspaper said: The horse-haired brown pale, was until his last day he could walk for five hours a day at outdoors, despite suffering from mild inflammation in the joints, and was followed by horse diet strictly, where lim-ited food on sugar beet, chaff different nuts, with clover.

The weight of the horse that appeared in his last days some gray hairs around his eyes, about 480 kg.

But , who take care with him at Essex stable, Ireland, found him on Feb. 22, collapsed, and was unable to stand on his feet; what made them pass it to the hospital, and there was dead.

Sue Britton Said, who established the protected horses Memorial Remus, which occupies more than 40 acres: Shine spent his last days happy, and we are proud that this horse was between us, as much as our grief to leave him!

The Guinness Guinness Records have written down Shine as the oldest horse in the world, after the medical team known his age, through horse dental state, and the depth of the grooves and cavities in the teeth, which was equivalent, according to the British Horse Association 120 years ago at the age of humans.

back to America and through selection, developed a special breeding program that goes on today.

How can you advise breeders es-pecially new potential breeders?Today people are in a hurry; they want

success overnight. Success succeeds it never precedes. It does not hap-pen immediately. Breeder must have patience. First of all they have to un-derstand the breed. If you are going to breed something, you have to know the history of it. So that means you study books and other material on the history of the breed. Know inyour mind what you are going to breed before you try to breed it. Just because somebody wnts to sell you something, dont buy it just because of that. You need to take time and study well. You do not become a master of mathematics just by learning addition. You do not become a mas-ter breeder just by buying a stallion and

a mare or mares to put them together. You have to study their genotype and phenotype and their ancestors, espe-cially the grandparents, because hered-ity often skips a generation. You need to see as many pictures of their ancestors as pos-sible and talk to breeders who have seen them. As mentioned before, visit breeding farms,, attend horse shows, watch en-durance and flat races where Arabians com-pete; even dressage or jumping competitions. Learn what is really a good Arabian horse; not just outwardly, but in spirit and pride.

I believe in theart of breeding and it is most important to study find art good art- representing the Arabian horse in days past paintings in museums, lithographs, and bronzes by Barye and Mene, and those of the Frenchanima-

liers. Painters such as Adam, Geri-cault, Gros, Horace Vernet, John Fred-erick Herring, etc. Visit the temples of Upper Egypt and study the horses on the monuments there: Karnak, Medi-

netHabu, theRamasse-um. Get thefeeling and the essence of the hors-es. It is not just a physi-cal attitude when you loo at something. You need to know the spirit of the horse, the essence and what makes the Arabi-an horse different from other breeds of horses, and why the Egyptian

Arabian horse is different from other Arabian horses. It has much to do with breeding and the selection andhow to put bloodlines together.

But first you have to have a vision, purposem a plan, and patience, and you have to be able to live with various sacrifices. Bad things happen that we do not expect; the loss of a special stal-lion, a special mare, the awaited foal?

Therefore my basic advice is to first learn about the breed, get good ad-vice from knowledgeable breeders who have your best interest at heart, rather than just selling you something,. Study old pictures, talk to old timers in the horse world who have seen many Egyptian horses past and present, or have a photo collection of these hors-es. Learn how to differentiate between people who tell you the truth and those just trying to sell you something Take time, maybe a few years, until you fi-nally make an educated decision that you feel good about. And dont forget to listen to your heart!

Nazeer was the special inspi-ration for the Ansata breeding program.

Some breeders and agents tell you the truth, others tell half truths or lies, so be cautions when a salesman talks.

again where we could go in developing our special type to meet our vision.

Over the years, and through careful selection, we bought more Egyptian horses, always trying to stay within this particular look given by Nazeer that we saw the first time we came to Al Zahraa. We built on that quality look through carefully selected line breed-ing, inbreeding, and in some instances outcrossing but returning again to our linebred or inbred stock to continue stamping the type. So it was like paint-ing a picture by using the right pigments and brush strokes, but instead working with genetics.

We never lost sight of the vision we saw in our minds eye. We never bred for the market because the market might favor different types for a while, or one horse oranother. Maybe some-body sells something very expensive because it was a different bloodlinebut that did not influence us. We be-lieve in what we did, because whenyou believein what you are doing and if it is good, peoplewill always find theirway to you. Fifty plus years of breeding this way, Id have to say,proves it because a lot of people found their way to our placein the middle of nowhere in the mountains of Mena, Arkansas in the center of the United States. So as a re-sult, we sold horses all over the world. I always look to Egypt as having been the foundation and the very special en-ergy emitted by the Great Pyramids. But everybody looks to Egypt as the

motherland, and for me, as the home of the Egyptian Arabian horses because that is where we got ours, as did many others in the world,

Why did you choose the Egyptian Arabian horse in particular?As I old you before, Id loved horses.

I read books about Arabian horses, in particular THE BLACK STALLION by Walter Farley, and other sequels. I studied many old books and the paint-ings drawn by Adam, Geircault, and DeDreux, and I had in mind their beau-ty and refinement they pictures in their portraits. I had in mind a special look and a special qual-ity of beauty and refine-ment. We had traveled throughout many Mid East countries, but we never really saw this special quality until we came to Egypt. In Egypt these horses had been preserved and bred since the time of Muhammad Ali the Great which was about l80 or so when he first started ring them from Arabia to Egypt after he couquered Nejd, and then was followed by his son, Ibrahim Pasha. Then Muhammed Alis grandson, Abbas Pasha, became very interested in these horses. So the finest horses from Arabia, from the de-sert Bedouin tribes that have been bred there for hundreds thousands of

years, had come to Egypt. The royal families of Egypt preserved and bred these horses . Eventually they decided to form the Royal Agricultural Society. )RAS(. Dignitaires such as HRH Prince Mohammed Ali, Prince KemalEddin, andoters, along with King Fouad and King Farouk, contributed horses and support to the RAS which was initiated around the first part of the nineteenth century. Later, some Arabian hores were imported from Crabbet Park in England whose stock in some respects traced to Egyptian bloodlines. So the

role of the RAS and now together with the RAS renamed the Egyptian Agricultural Organiza-tion )EAO(, they have been preserving these particular groups and families of bloodlines since theearly eighteen-hundreds without add-ing a mixture; without adding )like you are not adding cream to your

coffee( so it is a very special genetic nucleus that is predictable; it has the genetic capability of producing the same thing oer and over again. And so there was a very special type they de-veloped through selective breeding by some very good managers such as Dr. Branch, TiborPettko von Szandtner, Dr. Marsafi, etc, and others who have come along since then. So this particu-lar group of bloodlines is what we took

Characteristics in horses of the pharaohs are still present in Egyptian Arabian horses of today.

Breeders must study history, visit breedingfarms, shows, rac-es, and especially visit Upper Egypt and look at the horses of the Pharaohs at Karnak, Luxor, MedinetHabu etc,

23


because we loved the horses and we wanted to contribute something to this breed. Thus one thing led to another.

We decided tobuy a small farm and thento breed these yearlings whenthey got older. And in the meantime we decided to show them in some of the Arabian horse shows. So many Ameri-cans became very interested in what we were dong that eventually many of them came to Egypt to buy horses.

Later on we also bought additional Arabian horses from Al Zahraa, and the Ansata farm began to grow. Soon people from all over the world wanted to see what we were breeding, and actually started buying horses we pro-duced from our original stock. In the meantime I was writing articles about the Egyptian horses. I wrote many his-torical and research articles for maga-zines. I did a great deal of research here in Egypt. At this time my husband and I were traveling a lot in this part of the world, soI began writing about dif-ferentArabian horses inTurkey, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and I also wrote several books about Arabians.

In the meantime, over the years,ourhorses had grown and we were breeding more and more, devel-oping special type of Arabian horse that had a signature that is, a particu-lar brand In other words, it is like pic-tures painted by famousartists who are known for a particular style, like Rem-

brandt, Picasso, etc., or other great painters whose work is easily recogniz-able as their own style.

We looked at breeding as an art form as we developed our program over the many years. So our original vision was held to constantly.

Judi Forbis is famous as being The Queen of Ansata. Would you please tell us about the Ansata Story.

Well, when I came here to Egypt looking for horses in l958, there was a stallion called Na-zeer. at Al Zahraa This horse was carefully se-lected as a breeding stallion, and we had the opportunity to see thevery best of whathad been selected to be kept at Al Zahraa. We were fortunate that Dr. Mohammed Marsafi had just taken

over the farm and allowed me and my husband to select three yearlings. We were just married less than a year and did not have a lot of money. It was a very big stretch for us to buy these horses; I mean it was a very difficult de-cision. Can we spend this kind of mon-ey to buy these horses to take them to America considering their cost plus export expenses.? Well, we decided

to do this. We were able to buy the three Nazeer-sired yearliings; two fillies and a colt. They were very special individuals.These three yearlings were always present in our minds. It is the same as if you paint a great painting, you have to have the vi-

sion and work at it.

So we began with these three year-lings and as they grew, we began to see a special quality in them. When we came back to Egypt we began to see

Art, vision and imagination developed the Ansata breeding program.

A person who is able to buy a stallion and a mare just to put them together is not a breeder.

An interview with Judi Forbisthe Queen of Ansata

First, we would like to welcome you here in Egypt. We are so glad to see you here in Cairo with the hope to get a brief description of the life of Judith Forbis.

Well it has been a long career. I first began to ride ponies when I was three-years old, and later I rode horses in eq-uitation and jumping classes in America When I was in my twenties, I wetnt to Turkey with the International Coopera-tion Administration where I bought my first Arabian mare and entered jumping competitions, I also rode race horses in the mornings to exercise them. I met

my husband, Don, in Ankara and we both fell in love with the Arabian horse breed. We heard about the horses of Egypt through some friends of ours who had been in this part of the world and were experts on the breed. So we de-cided to go toEgypt and see if we could visit the farm named Al Zahraa. We fell in love with the horses there.

They were very special, so different from the other Arabian hoses we had

seen in other countries., and then de-cided we wold like to bring three of them back to the United States. And

so began the life of the Arabian horses really began with these first three Egyptian horses we brought to America.

They were just year-lings and when we took them home to America, people had never seen Arabian horses quite

like these. So it was vey exciting that we didnt do it as a business, we did it

Horse breeding is for love and not for money.

Judi Forbis..the lady who astonished the world with her study and love for Arabian horses. She entered the horse world for love of the horse, Sbe had a desire to preserve the Egyptian Arabian horses in particular. She seems to paint a picture rather than to breed horses.

With only three yearlings from Al Zahraa of Egypt, she and her husband, Don, started their successful story of Ansata. It was for love of preserving and perpetuating this Egyptian Arabian horse, not for business purposes, that she gained the incomparable fame all over the world.

The first part of the interview presents her advice to Arabian horse breedersthrou the Horse Magazine the first specialized one in te world of horses. Study the history books, visit Arabian horse shows and races, visit other breeding farms advised the Queen of Ansata, asserting that he who is able to buy a stallion and a mare just to pt them together is not enough if there is no plan. A potential breeder must have a vision and a plan as to what he or she wants to achieve.

Hurdle Jumping

What do you know about Show Jumping Sport?

Show jumping Sport are from modern equestrian sports and most widespread at the moment , The first Show Jump-ing competitions in the past a few tests for fishermen, and the Royal Dublin So-cietys has organized first competition in jump or jumping in Dublin in 1865,

the competition has gained a high level and great attending, and Show jumping competitions organized as part of the Olympic Games in 1900 in Paris, where was held three com-petitions , temporary jumping award, the long jump and high jump and this sport found considerable momentum at the opening of global show horses in London Olympics 1907, and it was this event is the beginning Launches Sports Show Jumping.

Sport rules took a long time to be clear features, and laws were initially com-plex where it was both America and Britain require the laws of national and until the end of the Second World War by Using cutting rectangular sliding ly-ing these pieces rectangular atop of the

barrier and jock errors calculated if he dropped this piece, the law has been more complicated when judges cared about distinction between kick drop barrier list front or hind-limb, laws did not care about required time to com-plete the competition, and the system of arbitration was vague.

laws Has been re-writing for the game to suit for global standards after WWII.

Time factor became the essential element in the competition, which adds the element of ex-citement, and the clarity of the new laws has giv-en to the public chance up and absorb what is going on in front of them during the competition and built fields and put shows of competition accurate-ly and high technical skill to select of the jock and horse.

Some of the essential factor that al-ways taken into this sport are:

The size and type of built barriers, the number of strides in compact barri-ers, the time allowed to complete each show individually.

competitions governed by the laws of the International Equestrian direction is usually:

Olympic Games, which take place every 4 years, and the World Champi-onships which take place in even-num-

bered years during the Olympics.

The errors can be sum-marized that usually cal-culated in show jumping sport in the following, note that it is calculat-ing a different number of points for each error.

1 - drop the barrier.

2 - the fall of the horse or jockey.

3 - exceeded the allowable time.

4 - the time limit is exceeded for a spe-cific time jump.

Show jumping Sport began in London in 1865 G

Equine em-bryo transfer is considered one of the new-est technolo-gies in equine reproduction and used in

the treatment of the reproductive problems in mares. ET can be performed from an old mare )over 20 years old( and is with subfertil-ity and could not carry the fetus till full term and birth so we apply this technique and transfer the embryo to healthy non-valuable mares to carry the fetus till giving birth and nursing. ET can be applied for young maiden mares in 2 years age to maximize the reproductive life of the mare and increase the number foals per mare a long her life. This technology can be ap-plied as well as for race horses and jumping horses which are in com-

petition and consequently keeping their breeds which is characterized by good genetic merits.

Furthermore, ET can be beneficial to be used in mares suffering from recurrent abortion due to uterine problems or hormonal disturbanc-es which prevent the continuity of pregnancy. ET is preferred to be used in mares with a history of pro-ducing of twins to get the 2 foals in-stead of getting ride of one of them.

The process of ET is summarized in the transfer of formed embryo from stallion and mare with supe-rior genetic quality to a recipient of ordinary character to carry the em-bryo till birth, thus the donor mare become empty for either another pregnancy or another ET, the mare can give 2 or more foals per year.

The procedure of ET is done as following:

Estrous synchronization between the donor mare and the recipient mares )3 recipients for 1 donor( us-ing prostaglandins.

Insemination of the donor mare in the proper time of estrous phase depending on ultrasonography fol-lowing up.

Detection of the time of ovulation

The process of ET is performed by uterine flushing for the donor mare on day 6-7 post-ovulation using specific flushing fluids, then trans-ferring it to the recipient mare. Af-ter embryo recovery the embryo is transferred to a petridish containing a holding media for washing of the

reported in people. Transmission of

brucellosis from horses to humans is

rare because the disease is very un-

common in horses. Symptoms include

fever, headache, back pain and weak-

ness.

LeptospirosisLeptospirosis is a bacterial disease

that causes abortion, eye problems

and kidney disease in horses. Trans-

mission from horses to people is very

rare in the United States but can occur

through direct or indirect contact with

infected urine, as well as ingestion of

contaminated water. Symptoms in-

clude headache, fever, nausea, mus-

cle aches and jaundice )yellow skin

and eyes(.

CryptosporidiosisCryptosporidiosis is a protozoal para-

sitic disease that sometimes causes

diarrhea in foals, and can cause sig-

nificant disease in other species.

Cryptosporidium can infect manydif-

ferent animals and people through the

fecal-oral route.

Symptoms in humans include wa-tery diarrhea, stomach cramps, nau-sea and a poor appetite.

Vesicular StomatitisVesicular stomatitis is a viral disease

that causes blisters and ulceration on

the tongue and gums and inflamma-tion of the coronary band in horses.

Humans with open wounds can poten-

tially become infected by direct contact

with the blisters, which are filled with virus. However, even during outbreaks

of the disease, infection of veterinari-

ans and laboratory workers is low. The

most prominent symptom in humans is

a rash.

Common Sense Precau-tions Consult your veterinarian to develop

a comprehensive preventive medicine

program, including vaccinations and

biosecurity.

Have a veterinarian evaluate sick horses, especially those with behavio-

ral changes, including aggression.

Isolate sick horses and take precau-tions by wearing protective clothing

such as separate coveralls and dis-

posable gloves and booties.

Always avoid hand to mouth or nose contact when handling infectious hors-

es.

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling ill horses, es-

pecially those with diarrhea.

Alcohol-based hand sanitizer gels (62% ethyl alcohol) are very effec-tive in killing many bacteria and virus-

es when used on hands that are not

visibly soiled.

If treating a horse with a potentially zoonotic disease, wear disposable

gloves and thoroughly wash hands

afterward. Consult a veterinarian for a

diagnosis and recommendations.

Always consult your physician if you have suspected exposure to a zoonotic

disease or have any questions regard-

ing its symptoms, diagnosis or treat-

ment. Tell your physician about any

animals you may have been around.

Become educated on horse diseas-es, especially those common in your

area.

Immunocompromised people include: Cancer patients

Organ transplant patients

People taking immunosuppressive drugs

Patients with HIV/AIDS or other in-fectious diseases that suppress the

SalmonellosisSalmonellosis is a disease caused

by the bacteria Salmonella. Most often horses with salmonellosis have acute or chronic diarrhea, but they can also have localized infections in abscesses, joints, eyes and other areas. Wearing disposable gloves and washing hands after handling salmonellosis cases )or any animal with diarrhea( is espe-cially important. Manure from horses with diarrhea should be composted or disposed of where humans and other horses cannot come in contact with it. symptoms in humans include diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramping.

RingwormDermatophytosis )ringworm( is a

common fungal skin infection of many animal species. In horses the problem is primarily caused by Trichophyton equinum. Horses show circular patch-es of hair loss with crusting and scaling of the skin. People become exposed by direct skin contact with infected horses or potentially through contact with con-taminated equipment. The most com-mon symptom is itchiness.

RabiesRabies is a viral disease of mam-

mals, including horses. This disease is transmitted to humans via the bite of a rabid animal or contact between the animals saliva and open wounds or mucous membranes.

Only 40-50 horses per year are con-

firmed as rabies-positive in the United States, but the disease is 100 percent fatal. While infected horses may show behavioral and neurologic changes, rabies is known as the great imita-tor because sometimes animals pre-sent with colic or lameness. However, any horse with rabies will usually die within 10 days of the onset of clini-cal signs. Horses become infected by getting bitten by another rabid animal such as a skunk, raccoon, bat, fox, etc. Rabies vaccination for all horses isrecommended by the American As-sociation of Equine Practitioners. In humans, symptoms develop one to three months after being bitten. Be-cause of the seriousness of bacterial infections by animal bites, any human bitten by an animal should wash the wound and seek medical treatment. People who have been exposed to a rabid animal and receive immediate anti-rabies medical treatment have ex-cellent outcomes.

AnthraxAnthrax is a bacterial disease that has

caused sporadic animal disease out-

breaks in the United States for many years. The bacterial spore can live in the soil for decades, and animals can become infected through ingestion, inhalation and other routes. Infected horses often become acutely ill and die. People can be exposed to an-thrax through contact with an infected animals hide, tissues or blood. Com-plete protective equipment including skin, respiratory and eye protection should be worn by veterinarians when examining a suspected anthrax case. Symptoms in people can range from blisters on the skin to vomiting blood, bloody diarrhea, stomach ache, flu-like symptoms or chest pain.

BrucellosisBrucellosis is a bacterial disease that

causes abscesses and draining tracts on the withers (fistulous withers) and poll )poll evil( in horses and causes disease in many other animal species. People become infected by coming in contact with infected animals, espe-cially cattle, although with aggressive control measures for brucellosis in the United States very few cases are

subscribed to auction. However, we are not going to sell these horses till we have offspring thereof. The current market prices are low, and thus we are not going to put up for subscription any horses at high prices.

As for the ban imposed by the Eu-ropean countries on Egyptian horses, we are going to impose ban on their horses likewise, Asy noted.

Asy pointed out that the EAO pays at-tention to the camels through breeding then feeding. Accordingly, the breed-ing programs should include the in-termixing of horses characteristics of parents such as, neck, back, legs and head with the aim of having horses with good characteristics. The breed-ing program should clarify the beauty, strength and hair of the horse, in addi-tion to all good characteristics so that the horse could get high evaluation.

The purebred Arabian horses are heritage for Egypt in terms of their history that dated back to the 13th century, when Al-Nasir Muhammad )al-Malik al-Nasir Nasir al-Din Mu-hammad ben Qalawun( and Al-Malik Az-Zahir Sayf ad-Din Barquq import-ed huge number of Arabian horses

from the Arabian Peninsula.

In the beginning of the 19th century, Muhammad Ali Pasha al-Masud ibn Agha )1769 -1848( , the founder of modern Egypt, imported some of the purest blood Arabian horses in the Arabian Peninsula after 1811.

Ibrahim Pasha )1789 1848(; the eld-est son of Muhammad Ali, regularly im-ported such horses and his grandson Abbas Pasha I )1813 - 1854(, spent huge amounts of mon-ey for having the pure-bred Arabian horses and gathered informa-tion about them through the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula.

The EAO is the official registration body of Ara-bian horses in the Arab Republic of Egypt. The EAO is a charter member of WAHO.

Moreover, the EAO records the pure-bred Arabian horses owned by El-Zah-raa Stud or Egyptian Private Studs in the records of horses pedigree kept by

the EAO. It also conducts the tests of

parents verification of the newly-born

mares and issues the certificates of

pedigree, export and import, in ad-

dition to issuing the official book of

horses pedigree, of which ten volumes

have been published up till now.

Furthermore, the EAO undertakes

the general supervision of the private

studs of horses and organizes the an-

nual tournament, which is held every

year in October over the

land of El-Zahraa Stud,

Asy said.

The EAO does its best

to maintain the purity of

the Egyptian purebred

Arabian horses through

allowing to the Egyptian

breeders to breed their

Arabian mares with the

purebred stallions of El-Zahraa Stud.

Additionally, the EAO sells some many

colts and fillies born at El-Zahraa

through public auctions held twice a

year, Asy added.

We seek to re-store the glory of Egyptian horses through using state-of-the-art scientific ways.

ment and the requirements of the time being; whether on the level of sperm, fecundation, embryo culture or birth and surgical operations, he said.

Asy pointed out the importance of the Egyptian purebred Arabian horse and the interest of everyone therein. This interest is attributed to the establish-ment of the Stud, as El-Zahraa Stud is the first one that recorded pedigree worldwide, in addition to making breed-ing programs. This fact is greatly evi-denced by Aswan horse, which is well-known all over the world, when one-day visits were organized for taking photos with it. Late President of Egypt Gamal Abdel Nasser sent this horse a gift to Russia. Then, this horse become a parent for all Arabian horses in Russia and all African countries.

The EAO is going to cooperate with Europe and America in several aspects, in addition to recording and improv-ing progeny; as Egypt was the refer-ence for such countries to develop and improve the fields related to horses. Now, we do not mind coping with these countries scientific development and benefiting from their experience and expertise.

With regard to the ban imposed on exporting the Egyptian horses abroad, Asy noted that this ban was resulted from a false statement made by an

employee, who was unaware about its potential catastrophic effects. Today, we are studying some legislations, in addition to some other matters such as veterinary quarantine. We are going to solve any problems. This ban, God Willing, will be lift soon.

As for the EAOs efforts for spread-ing and raising the awareness of the public and the Egyptian people about the culture of horses and heritage and treasures existed in El-Zahraa Stud, Asy pointed out to the fact that each house, during the 1950s and 1960s, had a horse. We trust mass media and know the capability of such means for restoring the culture of breeding horses

in all Egyptian houses. However, this breeding should be associated with some terms; such as breeding the horses in studs for maintaining progenies, as the local breeding may lead to intermixing genealogi-cal lines due the lack of

control and awareness about this mat-ter. There are more than 600 studs in Egypt and we hope to improve them, he added.

As for the use of schools for spread-ing the culture of horse breeding among students through organizing shows over time for the students, Asy said this is a good idea but it would not be implemented at the time being be-cause we are in the stage of enhancing

the capabilities of the stud. Neverthe-less, in the future there will be shows of horses in different governorates. Furthermore, El-Zahraa Stud has eq-uitation schools.

With regard to money return of El-Zahraa Stud, which does not exceed EGP 5 million a year and if the Stud will consider how to double the finan-cial revenue so that it can repay the re-quired obligations out of such returns. Asy noted that the current aim is not to get money, but how to raise the aware-ness of horse heritage and culture.

The EAO has two plans; heritage and then the returns. At the time being, the Studs revenues do not cover its costs, but such costs can be covered for the coming three years, at least, in case the horses, found in the Stud, are

bians through up-to-the-minute sci-

entific and lawful ways in cooperation with all research and scientific bodies in Egypt. El-Zahraa Studs staff are

earnestly working for developing and

promoting the system and organiza-

tion of horses, as the stud faced unfa-

vorable conditions for certain period, he added.

Asy has pledged that El-Zahraa Stud

is going to be a leading one soon and

all staff and officials in charge of the Stud are going to work for making it

be ranked the proper position through

adopting the latest scientific basis for improving the Arabian horses.

El-Zahraa Stud Administration has

established new departments such as the administrations of breeding, vet-erinary and feeding )nutrition( for pro-viding the special kinds of fodder, ac-cording to age, with the aim of securing excellent care.

The current stage in-cludes setting a pro-gram for feeding the horses in terms of age and the nature of the horses; whether they are bloodstocks or cam-els. Nowadays, we are considering the state-of-the-art world researches in the sitology, as well as the Egyptian researches and differ-ent methods adopted by the breeders in the region. Such procedures aim at increasing and enhancing the capabili-ties of the horses in El-Zahraa Stud in the manner that matches and fits the position and status of the Egyptian purebred Arabian horses, Asy noted.

In January, El-Zahraa is going to co-operate with the Breed Researches Center, which is affiliated to the Agri-cultural Researches Center for provid-ing the support required for solving the problems of El-Zahraa Stud, in addi-

tion to offering scientific solutions that enable the Stud to overcome all problems related to breed. These will be co-operation with the facul-ties of veterinary medi-cine in the specialties of health care, surgery and feeding with a view to providing all neces-sary potentials so that

it could occupy a leading position in the region. Such cooperation will also aim at securing care required for the studs found in Egypt, whose number exceeds 600 ones.

El-Zahraa Stud is being developed to cope with the technological develop-

We seek to raise the awareness of the public about the heritage of horses through mass media.

We have established new administrations in El-Zahraa Stud for providing better care.

Eng. Hamdy Asy, Chairman of the Board of the Egyptian Agricultural Organization (EAO).

Egypt has the best purebred Arabian horses all over the world.

The interview is made by Ahmed Al Dawood Said Sherbash

The EAO is concerned, since its es-tablishment, with breeding the pure-bred Arabian horses. In the beginning, it cooperated with the committee of breeding and improving horses, and then the former has devolved the works and activities of horses breed-ing to El-Zahraa Stud paying much attention to the breeding of purebred Arabian horses. In 1914 A.D., the EAO decided to gather all purebred Arabi-an bloodstocks existed everywhere in Egypt and breed their bloodlines. Such efforts were exerted because these horses are the best stallions brought to Egypt by Abbas I of Egypt; also known as Abbas Pasha, and bred by Ali Pasha Sherif. These horses, horses of the purest blood; purebred that are known as Asil, were only owned by Ab-bas II Hilmi Bey )also known as Abbas

Hilmi Pasha(, HH Muhammad Ali and Lady Anne Blunt. The EAO managed to have got some mares and purebred horses and successfully bred theses bloodstocks to the effect that all such stallions have become widely known.

In 1930, the EAO es-tablished El-Zahraa Stud for breeding the purebred Arabian hors-es. The Stud is built in Kafr Farouk in the de-sert of Ain Shams over an area of 55 feddens, so that the climate of the desert could be suitable for the horses. El-Zah-raa Stud is famous for breeding and improving the Arabian horses.

El-Zahraa Stud has exerted earnest efforts for maintaining and having

strong horses and good characteristics of the Arabian horses to avoid having weak horses.

El Gewad Al Arabi magazine makes an interview with Eng. Hamdy Mahmoud Asy, Chairman of the Board

of the Egyptian Agri-cultural Organization )EAO(, who stressed that the Egyptian Arabi-ans are regarded as the best horses all over the world, while all coun-tries try to reach the perfection the Egyp-tian purebred Arabian horses.

Egypt is a charter member in ECAHO and WAHO, Asy said.

The EAO is doing its best to restore the glory of the Egyptian purebred Ara-
