[RC] [RC] Shagya - Donna Coss - Leonard.LiesensI agree with you that there were very good Shagya individuals, like Hungares. Please note that Georgat is not a Shagya. She is a part bred arabian. She is by Outlaw Persik who can be considered as a Shagya as his mother was Shagya. But his father was Persik, a pure arabian. From the mother side, Georgat's mother is Touchka, a barb-arab cross by the pure arab Aspic (Polish/Tunisian) Leonard, Belgium The Shagya excels frequently as a purebred, i.e. HUNGARES winning the WEG endurance, but when you compare the percentage of Shagya in the world to Arabian, the breed has done very well. And also remember GEORGAT and her brilliance. The breed in Europe is considered an Arabian breed and very often is not given credit, but just labeled, "Arabian"! It often does and is not recognized for what it adds to the breed mix. The French seem to blend and refine, always striving for the perfect sport horse. I am very certain that some of the Anglo blood is from the Shagya. The SHAGYA has an advantage, since for over 200 years it has been bred to be an excellent horse under saddle--the perfect riding type! Whereas the purebred Arabian has been bred to prance around a show ring looking pretty. Yes, some Arab lines were and are being bred for performance, but the Shagya has a 200 year advantage! Or head start! לjjb zĝ۫jw 5a 0zwnzw"wfϢX8rV 0zwnzwyƦ+mԞ˛mm ۫jw '^qZ vx'F'^I
