Someone made a writing about Pritzlaff horses in another topic. Any peoples want to share, pro and con, about these bloodlines?

RSI horses,
for us, these are the horses of choice. We have both, the Straight Egyptian horses as well as Rabanna breds. We have here, thanks to nee Jan Sorrell's
grace, the mare Sara Moniel, who at 25 will have another foal by the chestnut stallion in the other post, who is 28 this year. Sara Moniel has Rabanna as well as most of the original Pritzlaff horses as well as Fakher El Din in her blood line. Thus the Moniet El Nefous blood is doubled. She crosses extremely well with our stallion. While some do not feel that Arabian Type is well represented in Pritzlaff horses I am certain that few would argue their athleticism.
I would post photos but I find I no longer wish to defend my choice of horses with faceless experts.
I am happy to sell good horses to those who want horses to ride, to love and plain enjoy. We are also a discovery farm, although our move caused a lapse in sponsorship.
Have never been interested in fads and fleeting fame....but then we have only been breeding horses for 20 some years and have been involved since the early 1960s and yes, I realize every day, how little I truly know.....

I have extensive video footage of Pritzlaff horses, and have seen quite a number in the flesh. Some appear very nice, others have confirmation issues that I do not care for. You must judge each as an individual. As a group, I believe that their tempers are hotter than some other lines of Egyptians. Although there are some very beautiful individuals, they are not ususally "extreme" by any means. Faults that I have noticed are the tendency to heavier OR underslung necks, shallow hip and croup (i.e. not enough butt) Many of the stretchier individuals with better length to neck have a neck that comes out of the chest low. In addition, heavier throatlatches whereby the head and neck do not hinge together as well as desired. Also, too much Moniet and you have very straight shoulders, spindle legs and lack of motion.... but a sweetheart disposition on the girls. On the other hand, some heavy Moniet "boys" do not have the same disposition as the girls.... reference Sonietasolar, & others. But again, this boils down to the individual I suppose.

Nonetheless, quite a few are very nice movers. In general, I think those with Rabanna blood are the best in terms of arabian type and movement.

Not my preferred bloodline - but works in combination well with other lines.

Dear Guest-guest,
thank you very much for sharing with us your honest opinion
in a very open but not aggressive manner.
Thanks, it's appreciated.

I think there's a wide range of quality between all the RSI horses. Some were good combinations, others not so much.
They definitly have a very distinctive type thanks to the big influence of *Bint Moniet El Nefous in the pedigree. But some of them show more the influence of Rabanna or Rashad Ibn Nazeer.
I like the influence of *Bint Dahma to round up a little bit their lines : some tend to lack of mitbah and have too short and slopping rear hand (also straight shoulder and short necks). But some others don't show this defects. The cross with Babson and Doyle lines were very good to counterbalance this. The *Bint Moniet El Nefous and Rabanna lines produced very typy horses.
I think very few people are still breeding them as a closed genepool. It's pretty sad because we may loose their special look by always outcrossing them.

OK here goes....this is a Pritzlaff stallion, a Shiko Ibn Sheikh son as a short 3 year old and a shot at 12 at play. This horse is a Dahman Shawan and has only three original imports in his bloodline, Rashad Ibn Nazeer, Bint El Baata and Bint Dahma. A sort of mimi-outcross for horses with concentrated Bint Moniet El Nefous breeding. So far our confidence in his siring competence has been hugely justified.

Hello Forum!
I like most of the RSI breeding.I feel that with any breeding program,there are good individuals and some not-so-good.I have three Rasmoniet RSI daughters and have found that they are incredible producers and all have wonderful temperments and have passed that on to their foals.I personally feel that our girls move very well and have plenty of snort and blow when showing off,but they have great minds too and none of them are silly,nervous,or skiddish.I have used them on a various lines and have been pleased with the results.These are dependable mares that I treasure greatly.I am happy and very lucky to have them in my mind and feel that we are blessed to have such mares.

let's try again,

bad photo but at play as a mature horse

two mares, bay is RG Iris, Pritzlaff with a line to Ansata El Salim and the gray is Tuhotmos and Anter and Abla with cental California coastal hills as a backdrop

and two more, in winter fuzzies,

both of these are fillies at 17months, both by kazmeen......high percentage Pritzlaff. Poppy is 100% with Rabanna. Rosie has one line to Raadin Inshalla.
Unposed, un-polished and candid photos out in pasture. Both move over the hills with free and easy gaits. Legs are superb, strong bodies, deep girths, powerful hind ends. Undoubtedly Arab and utterly useful. People stop and watch them play. No shrinking violets, these.
Both will become part of our mare band.

time to stop this one man band....
see yah all

Many thanks for posting the pictures reluuctant2, I enjoyed seeing them and they illustrate beautifully the qualities of the Pritzlaff bloodlines. Rasmoniet daughters have been mentioned for their qualities as horses and broodmares so I shall post a picture of mine. She is a little unusual in that her dam is entirely of German breeding and traces in tail female line to the great broodmare Salha. She is due to foal in June to a stallion of "old" German breeding. My own very small attempt at perpetuating an unusual combination of bloodlines. Not a great photo unfortunately and a bit fuzzy but here goes anyway!

My knowledge of this bloodlines is limited but I had the pleasure and visited with Mr Pritzlaff at his farm and my memories are vidid. The man was as impressive as his horses. The most impressive aspect was that they lived a very natural life and were treated like horses not like show horses. They were not clipped nor had make-up on. As a group they were not my cup of tea in terms of type but some individuals were exquisite by any standard. The interaction between man and horses was nice to watch, they had in tent dispositions. Especially noteworthy was the stallion Dymoniet, a son of the foundation horses Bint Moniet El Nefous and Rashad Ibn Nazeer and a lot like his dam in type. I liked him very much, he was strong built with exquisite bones and sound legs, very sound legs I remember this especially well and a nice character. He was a deep chestnut horse with huge eyes. Yes, I think some of the RSI horses have something to contribute and still are a source for good character, sound legs, good gaits. What most don't have are long croups, straight top-lines, good necks. But you can't have everything.

Hi Dennis,
thanks for posting the photo of your mare. Fuzzy and all she appears to be a good example of the Pritzlaff influence. True enough, if straightbacks and flat croups are your bag do not look at Pritzlaff horses. Dishes also are not their long suit but most seem to have good Jibbahs and mitbahs as well as elegant necks and short backs. Even those that are thought of as having shorter necks are still in proportion to their backs and height. At least from my personal perspective. Straight backs and croups have a place but generally are not conducive to athletic pursuits. For me those extremes are undesirable unless of course they are exhibited on cattle and mules and donkeys. It is exactly that straightness that detracts from the overall smoothness of the horse and creates angles that do not support efficient engagement and thus limits athleticism. While I do not feel that such horses are less than worthy, quite the contrary, I also love to see those extremes, I personally prefer a more utilitarian type. A type that remains recognizably Arabian, especially under saddle. That is why I prefer the Pritzlaff influence refined by Babson temperament. Babson also exhibit athleticism but are on the whole the sweetest horses I have handled.
One more photo, Kazmeen under saddle at 26.

Shalom and Greetings from Israel,
I am personally responsible for bringing the Pritzlaff lines - especially those carrying Rabanna blood - to Israel back in the 1980's and bred
these lines for approx 20 years.
Will try to post a photo of three fillies at RSI - all carrying strong
lines to Rabanna later this week from home, shot during his 25 Silver Anniversary celebration.
It is a shame that more breeders are not preserving them as a group. They have ALOT going for them. My best photos are now with the Heirloom Group for use in the book they are publishing.
In a nutshell, the Pritzlaff horses were always recognizable as typically Arabian in type, most (especially with Rabanna blood) had very good movement and were suitable for dressage, plenty of indivuduals with wonderful jowls and eyes, small ears, and "three circle" "Kuhaylan" type body conformation - they were not overly extreme in any one area, and I can attest they made the most trustworthy and amicable mounts one could imagine. Certainly using horses, and yes, beautiful to behold.
Best,
Tzviah

The photos posted are very good for learning more about the RSI type. I am very interested because my knowledge is very limited. In Germany was a mare of Pritzlaff breeding at one time but to the best of my knowledge that's it. I saw some mares of Pritzlaff breeding at the now closed Bentwood farm. I hope my brain serves me right they were full sisters by Rashad x Bint Moniet El Nefous and two of them looked very similar. They were good moving horses , Hansi would call them flying machines, but not "wow" in type. Nevertheless they appealed to me in every way. Bint Moniet El Nefous delivered the monumental Moniet El Sharaf and though I'm not convinced of him as a sire I liked him very very much and found him nearly perfect in type, balance and movement. He got a whole lot from his dam and this horse is etched in my mind as a representative of the RSI breeding. Does he serves good as a representative or was he completely different from the "original" RSI horses? I mean he was just 50% Pritzlaff.

Hi
I have just picked up three horses from Mr. and Mrs. Godward here in California. Two stallions that are young 21 years old and a mare that is 20 years old. The black stallion is sired by Rasmoniet RSI and the Gray is an Rasomoniet RSI grandson on the dam side.
Here is my look at these horses Wow!! The black is 15 2 hhs and must weight 1200 pounds. He is not fat or coarse..he is just a big bodied horse. Beautiful eye huge for a black , neck is somewhat heavy for today standards...but ties into the whiter perfect, short back, long long hip and croup and the croup is long and level. He has perfect legs...the only fault is a neck that could be somewhat longer but what a pretty shape to it. The other fault is that I didn't have him sooner. He is going to be shown next weekend at the Ponoma show for 15 and older stallions who knows...but what I do know that he is bigger bodied and better bodied than anything I have seen in the show ring. It is somewhat sad that he was never bred and but we are hoping to bred him to a couple of Black Desperado granddaughters that we have...these babies should knock a few peoples socks off.
The gray is somewhat pretty in the head and just as great bodied but not as tall his legs and chest are something that you don't see anymore...perfection..even at 21 years old they are beautiful. He is an outstanding horse and I am looking forward to using him in the breeding program. I think that the old bloodlines of these horses will cross perfect with the new eygptian bloodlines
What do you think
Bonnie

Ms Bonnie,
Your regret is the same one we experienced when we acquired Kazmeen. Photos just do not do these horses justice. There is an air of royalty that surrounds these horses and yes they are generally perfectly conformed and bigger and big-boned yet refined to look at.
They do cross extremely well with other lines including new egyptians.
as a matter of fact it was our first foal by Kazz, out of a Bey El Bay bred mare that changed our breeding focus. She was a startlingly beautiful foal and turned into a beautiful mare. The mother was small,14 hands and kazz added size and refinement as well as go.
Yes I thinks you will be happy to have them with you. Next qyestion, are they HOT??? Ours aren't at all. Laid back, but they can turn on with the best.
needless to say you can tell, I like those lines...but I like most of them.....
JAL

Hi,

We have had very good results with the use of the RSI blood. One of our best broodmares is Rasallaa (Rasmoniet RSI x *Bint Wasla) *Bint Wasla is a Mourad (Gassir x Mabrouka) daughter out of Wasla (Ibn Hafiza x Enayat). Rasallaa is one of our "flying machines" that we have here at Abbasiyah. Just looking at her pedigree and you will see why. *Rashad Ibn Nazeer was an outstanding dressage horse, Gassir and Sid Abouhom race horses as well as Nazeer and Shahloul and along comes Sameh through Ibn Hafiza. Then to put the icing on the cake, Enayat is the dam of *Sakr. Not ony can this mare move she has a disposition that will steal your heart away.

All the best from Florida

Hello forum,

what does surprise me most about the original Pritzlaff imports and the later Pritzlaff breeding program (except Rabanna) is, that they are genetically very closely related to the original Ansata imports, but developed a completely different type and exterieur. Maybe someone is interested to share is thoughts about this issue. I think, it could be a result of the strong influence of the Rissala-line and the lacking influence of El Deree/Sid Abouhom?

What do you think?

One difference between the Pritzlaff and Ansata programs is that Ansata imported mostly greys, and this colour still dominates the program. The Pritzlaff imports were all, correct me if I am wrong, blacks, bays and chestnuts, Ansata El Salim was a grey but I don't think he had a huge impact on the core bloodlines of the Pritzlaff program, was Faarad grey? Today, most of the pure or high percentage Pritzlaff horses are solid colours, i.e. bay, black or chestnut.

Just my thoughts

Hello Forum!I finally got one of the shots of our Nile Monietta (Rasmoniet RSI x Leah's Cameo by Shamruk) that was taken by Polly Knoll,resized small enough to fit here to be posted.You will see the simularity to the other horses pictured.I have another shot of her at play with her daughter EA Vasellas (by Samid El Ras)that I will also post.Part of the reason we have based our breeding program with three Rasmoniet daughters was the consistency of good horses they produce.I spent a very long time searching for good quality broodmares that would out produce themselves with various lines and even though I didn't aquire all of these mares at the same time,as soon as the opportunity came to have one,I jumped on it.They cross well with many different lines and I have plenty of action and talk about gopod legs,these girls have them!The avatar I use is a son of one of these ladies.I think the ladies I have of RSI breeding are wonderful as I stated before and I am a very lucky girl to have them

Here is the second photo I promised that I took-as you can see,I am no Polly Knoll,but I loved the way Monietta was looking at me and the expression on baby Vasellas' face....

And here is what Vasellas looks like a bit more grown up.....I took this shot.....

Hi Lisa:
Beautiful mare...looks like she has some body to her. I just got a black stallion who is 21 years young in March...who is Rasmoniet RSI breeding on the top and Fadel breeding on the bottom.
This is what I see ...big boned , big bodied, excellent legs and feet, short back, long hip and croup with a very pretty head. We are going to bred him to a black filly who is tall and refined...should be the perfect outcross.
He also only has two lines to Nazeer which I think is different.
Loved your mare

Thank you Bonnie!I appreciate your kinds words about the kids.I don't know if I would exactly call her big boned,although the photo would lend one to believe that,but she is so well put together that she crosses well with everything she has been bred to.I can't wait to see what her daughter will produce since she has the Sameh sire line.I have been following the story about your new stallion and I can't wait for you to post a picture or two,please?

Well, he is very nice and sweet. But he will be going to his first show this weekend at Ponoma and we have entered him in the 15 and over aged stallion class. This is a horse that has never seen a whip . It would be interesting on how he will react or not. Anyways, I will get pictures to you. You aren't going to believe the size of these boys.
Talk to you soon
Hopefully I will get some great shoots at the show.

By the way - what happened to the Rancho San Ignacio after the death of Mr. Pritzlaff?

What happened to his breeding stock? Is there anybody breeding them on purely?

Yes there are,
several people, Sheila Harmon in Idaho, there are some in California with Ms. Joan Schleicher and we have two. There are also others scattered all over the US.
Rancho San Ignacio became a conservancy as far as I remember and none of Mr Pritzlaffs heirs have interest in the horses as far as I can recollect.
Age exacts a terrible price for all things but hopefully he will remembered, not for his excentricities but for his commitment to the Arabian Horse. He introduced the New Egyptians to America and started a tidal wave over the next decades.
I for one am forever grateful to him, a person I never had the pleasure of meeting. Something I now ruefully regret.
JAL

Joe,

I remember seeing Bint Bint Moniet and the excitement that I felt, in anticipation, as I drove my car to Bentwood. However, when I got to Bentwood, Bint Bint Moniet, althoug a pretty mare, was not one of the mares that left an impression upon me. Which Pritzlaff horses would you consider to be the most beautiful, the most breathtaking? I remember a black mare, who was just incredible but I have forgotten her name. For a minute, I thought it was So Soniet but I don't believe that is right.

As an aside, are there any Pritzlaff horses that do not carry the blood of Rashad?

You mentioned a few breeders that are still breeding the Pritzlaff lines but what happened to Rafter G and the Grows? It is hard to forget the pictures of the typey Alcibiades.

Hi Sand Dollar,
I am unware of RSI horses without Rashad blood since he was used excusively on all mares. Although possible, since he most certainly could have bred some of his originally imported mares to outside stallions and in fact he did use Ansata El Salim, (Grows) his Babson Stallion and yes Fakher El Din.
The Grows stopped breeding a few years ago and many of her horses went to Mrs. Jane Bohn of Ravenwood in Montana. I do know that Bint El Bataa was bred to El Salim but am unaware of where those horses wound up. I am sure if you contacted Jane she would be willing to assist with more info. She is a very gracious person and has helped us tremendously. She leased Sar Mistalima to us the last years of her life. Matter of fact, she died in my arms. Hardest thing I have done,.. but oh so necessary. Sar Mistalima was a regal old mare, not ultra typey but pure desert and a true lady. We only had her for a short time but grew to love her very deply.
There are horses that carry very little Rashad but I am aware of those bereft in toto.
We searched for many years to find mares for Kazmeen and so located many RSI mares but at the time of our search they commanded prices we could not pay. Now when we could, we no longer need them. with 8 mares and six stallions, albeit the stallions are 28, 22, 26 , 9, 9, 1.5. you can see we are full up.
Bahir Ibn Kazmeen the 1.5 year old is startling, chestnut about 14 hands. Even non Arab people stand in awe at his presence and conformation. Out of RG Iris,, you can see the Rafter G influence as well as the drop of Ansata.
JAL

Thanks JAL! You have set me on a course and I appreciate the direction given!

Well I know of one Pritzlaff stallion with no Rashad Ibn Nazeer blood.

Sankt Georg RSI (Ansata El Salim x Bint El Bataa)

He was imported to Australia and created a place in the history books for himself by siring the beautiful Simeon Safanad (ex 27 Ibn Galal V). Few people would disagree that Simeon Safanad has had a major impact on SE breeding world-wide.

Now, 20 years since he prematurely passed on, many people believe his influence and distinct type lives on in the foals galloping the paddocks of Australia.

I for one am excited about incorporating the precious blood of Sankt Georg RSI into our breeding program through his grandson Simeon Stav (Asfour x Simeon Safanad) and through his son Stavs Kin Shahsa (Simeon Stav x Simeon Shaina) who is a double cross to Sankt Georg RSI.

There is a picture of Sankt Georg RSI in the Simeon Safanad portrait on this site.

Al Shama,
you are correct, Ansata El Salim was used as I stated above and thus technically, being an Ansata horse he redefines the Pritzlaff breeding in that although Mr. Pritzlaff did use him in his program he was an Ansata Bred horse as Faarad was a Babson stallion but personally I would call such a horse Pritzlaff/Ansata and Pritzlaff/Babson......This does not mean I consider those horses to be less than nor more worthy of being called pure Pritzlaff because they were used at RSI but, their influence can be reproduce with newer ad-mixtures of both Babson and Ansata. It is those descending entirely from his original importations that I, personally call Pritzlaff. With the sole exception being the Doyle bred mare Rabanna. Who was Pritzlaff by precedence.
We have all three examples here, Pritzlaff/Halima, Pritzlaff/Babson and Pritzlaff(Rabanna). Love em all.
Just an opinion?
JAL

Dear JAL, you posted some pictures of very interesting horses and described their bloodlines. However, I'd very much like to have their full names, if possible, so I can check the pedigrees more easily. Thank you very much!
Bianca

I would not discount the positive influence of Rashad Ibn Nazeer. Much of his negative press is based upon one unfortunate photograph. He gives a lot to the get down the line.

Just caught up with the postings on the RSI horses and had to especially agree with the last post concerning *Rashad Ibn Nazeer being judged by one unfortunate photo. I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of a photo of Rashad as a three year old, sent to me by Ellie Lindeman, Richard Pritzlaffs great niece. What a horse this photo shows him to be. Ellie has a great interest in the RSI horses, but unfortunately hasn't been in position to maintain a breeding herd. She did acquire Rajeer RSI, the last straight egyptian stallion remaining on the ranch after Richards death. I believe he is in Calif. with Joe Linzner.
Living with me is the beautiful stallion RASMON NEFOUS RSI (Tomoniet RSI x Tatutwo RSI) He is tail female *Bint Moniet El Nefous with a Rabanna line. At 27 he is still as beautiful as he was at 18. We have one daughter from him x of Sara Moniel, the mare Joe has. We also have a very lovely granddaughter, out of the Rasmon Nefous daughter Nasr Surprise RSI, by Alnaszrs Ali LHF (Alnaszr RSI x Kualice RSI) Alnaszr RSI was also with us until last fall when he was laid to rest at age 27. A small stallion, he was the ultimate desert horse, one could picture him flying over a sand dune. This particular group here all exhibit good bone, lovely heads, proud carriage and gentle but active dispositions. Since I have all but retired from breeding, I truly hope someone else will pick up the torch for the Pritzlaff/Rabanna line horses. I found them to be terrific horses. Also have an Alcibiades daughter who produced a really nice filly by a 100% Pritzlaff bred stallion, though not bred at RSI, Sonyet (Sonietasolar x Alsonia). This is a straight egyptian filly. Hopefully I can share some photos with you at a later date.
Jan Sorrell-Ferraro

Photo of *Rashad Ibn Nazeer as young horse. I hope this works. Photos sometimes baffle me.

I also have this photo in my archives. It shows a great hip, a good topline, and a good shoulder angle. The good shoulder angle leads to a good neck set angle and good motion. I see the same thing 4-5 generations away. This is a good horse to have in a pedigree.

It must also be remebered that Mr Pritzlaff did not pamper his horses. No Grooming no exaggerated poses no shaving no body clips, what you see is unadulterated horse. A good sized horse with good conformation, taller than long, good legs, good couplings and a capable dressage horse in real life.
I too am happy to have him in a horse's pedigree.
JAL

I went a couple of weeks ago to pick up a black stallion called Mahmoud G who is 21 years young this year and is a Rasmoniet RSI son..his dam is Fadeleka (Fadel x Maleka). He is big! I can't believe his confirmation but what impresses me the most at 21 years old he has the cleanest and straightest legs I have ever seen. You can not fault his legs. I think he is wonderful. But he is not typey enough for today's breeders. His head is not extremely dished but it is short and a big beautiful eye. His neck is long and set on very pretty but is somewhat heavy by today's standards.
I am very excited to be breeding him to one of my stallion's daughters...I would like to see a nicer shaped neck and she is somewhat light in the backend. I think that his his strength..it will be a very interesting cross.
The other stallion I picked up with him is a Rahsheesh son out of a mare called Iris G (Rasmoniet RSI x Fadeleka). He is somewhat lighter but again so very balanced, excellent legs, good confirmation and very pretty in the head. He is not as tall or as big bodied as the black but a good horse.
They both will be breeding for the first time and we hope that they will have some wonderful foals.

Just out of curiousity, how many people really like the more effeminate look that is prevalent in the stallions today, in many if not most lines, not just SE horses? In looking back over pictures of the great stallions of yesteryear, one thing that stands out is the fact that they LOOKED like stallions, one did not have to check their undercarriage to be certain what they were looking at. Guess my age is showing but I find the extremely wispy necks seen on some stallions as not at all attractive.

I love a good clean throatlatch, with a good clean joining of head to neck, with a nice arch and I like to see a neck that fits the masculine horse. Many of the RSI stallions were like this. To much neck for todays standards but when you looked at a stallion you seldom had to guess the gender. It was apparent in both attitude and appearance.

Jan Sorrell-Ferraro

I am very much a fan and breeder of these lines...
and have combined them successfully with Crabbet and Polish as well...
My foundation sire Sheikh was by Shiko Ibn Sheikh
and I am the breeder of Multi-National Champion Aequus+/ as well and am very fond of RSI horses combined with Babson.

See

We also now have a perservation program for the RSI-Babson cross coming into place in our breeding herd...

To me this is my favorite lineages... and of course certain crosses as any Egyptian breeder testifies does improve upon the foundation prepared by the ancestry.

I have loved the pritzlaff horses they are just amazing horses. I have one of richard pritzlaffs mares and I am going to breed her this year for the first time while she has been under my ownership. She is a very big bodied mare and I just love that. she stands at 15.1 and is just beautiful. I am excited to see what she produces bred to my Tripple *Sultann bred Makhsous son.

Best luck to you with this mare. I saw her in Ohio a few years ago. I thought she had breeding concerns - but hopefully I am mistaken. I do recall her as a very big bodied mare...... it seems many of the Pritzlaff horses tend to be on the bigger side... Good luck - your stallion is gorgeous!

Jeff,

I just checked your website to see the RSI mare and there he was! El Marees. I was really surprised to see him! He is an awesome colt with a really interesting pedigree. Three sire lines to Sameh through *Sultann. Now that's a lot of power!!!

Here is our stallion Rasmoniet EHAP(Rasmoniet RSI X Shikos Kazmeena)
He is one of the very few Pure Pritzlaff *Blue LIst stallions left in the world. HE will be at the Egyptian Event this year. He will begin his career in endurance racing this fall. He was a 2 time top ten World Class Stallion by the age of 4. He's identical to Rasmoniet RSI except a smidge shorter in the back than his sire.

We also have a Pure Pritzlaff, *Blue List mare Rahmeenah EHAP (Radahm RSI X Shikos Kazmeena). This is one of the last remaining mares that is not inbred, or far past breeding age that is *Blue List.

THere are some Pure Pritzlaff horses out there that are not Blue List or that have Rabanna or mixed with other horses, but the *Blue List ones that are from his original imports are very far and few between, less than 10 in the world.

What do I love about these horses the most?? Their exceptional performance ability and the correct conformation. THey are extreme athletes, and have a natural way of going like no other. Secondly I admire their loving kindness and are very trustworthy horses and calm and sweet. They truly are unmatched within the Straight Egyptian horses.

You can see these horses at www.echohillarabians.com

Im not a expert on the Pritzlaff horses....but I have to say that I have a Straight gelding sired by a 100% Ansata bred sire and out of a 50% Ansata Mare with an outcross to Alcibiades (my guy is a great grandson) crossed on The Egyptian Prince...and I think my guy is a great combination off all lines I believe that the *Rashad line added extreme movement which my gelding has....added with the Ansata lines I think he is a wonderful represenative of what can happen when the Pritzlaff lines are crossed with the right lines.
