🐎 Biography

A significant figure in the early American Arabian horse breeding scene, Khaled AHR #5 was a chestnut stallion who became one of the foundation horses of the Arabian Horse Registry of America.

Breeding and Early Life

Foaled on May 24, 1895, Khaled was bred by Randolph Huntington of Oyster Bay, New York. Huntington was a pivotal and sometimes controversial figure in the early history of the breed in the United States, known for his dedication to promoting and preserving what he believed to be the purest form of the Arabian horse.

Khaled's pedigree was a product of Huntington's own importation and breeding program. He was sired by the stallion *Nimr and out of the mare *Naomi. This breeding resulted in some linebreeding to *Naomi, as *Nimr was also a grandson of hers.

His dam, *Naomi, was born in England from desert-bred Arabian parents and was imported to the United States by Huntington in 1888. She was noted as being an exceptional field hunter. Khaled's sire, *Nimr, was also bred in England and imported by Huntington in 1893. Further back, his paternal grandsire was the desert-bred stallion *Kismet, whom Huntington had imported from England in 1891.

Cavalry Evaluation

From the Journal of the Military Service Institution of the United States (1905):

...It is from these progenitors that Khaled, perhaps the leading horse in the Huntington Stud, is descended. (see pedigree) All ancestors pure desert-bred Arabians of the family of Maneghi Hedruj.

Khaled stands a full fifteen three. We unhesitatingly affirm and challenge the world to disprove that this horse is the noblest Arabian in the civilized world, as he is known to be the largest. His offspring, whether pure Arab or otherwise, inherit his wonderful conformation, intelligence, hardiness of hoof, sinew, and muscle."

Legacy as a Sire

Khaled went on to have a notable impact on the nascent American Arabian horse population. He is recorded as the sire of nineteen registered purebred Arabian foals, contributing significantly to the gene pool of the breed during its formative years in the country.
