Shagya Arabian

Shagya Arabian

Horse

The Shagya Arabian was developed in the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the 19th century at the Bábolna, Mezohegyes, Radautz, Piber, and Topolcianky studs. Today it is most often seen in the Czech Republic, Austria, Romania, the former Yugoslavian countries, Poland, Germany, and Hungary, but has been exported to other nations and is bred around the world. A purebred Shagya Arabian today has bloodlines can be traced in all lines to the stud books of Radautz, Babolna, and Topolcianky. The breed is considered by some to be a subspecies of Arabian horse, but due to the presence of a small amount of non-Arabian breeding is considered an Anglo-Arabian or a partbred Arabian in some places.
