The Institute for the Desert Arabian Horse is producing a reference book entitled The Babson Influence: A Retrospective. The author has requested that the American Foundation Arabian Horse Association submit an article on the Early American Foundation and American Foundation Arabian horses of Babson descent and what they are doing today.

If you would like to have your EAF or AF or AFB Arabian horse of Babson descent included in the article, please contact me.

Thanks for your participation!

Why is this thread gone flat line?
Doesn't people know how important the early Babson Stock are?
Not all of his imports where Egyptian he brought in some fabulous English, and Polish horses too.
With out Babson we would not have some of the finest horses to grace the show arenas.

I have found so many Champions andd Living Legends that trace to Mr Babson's breeding program I am totally impressed at the scope. This does not include his long list of Egyptian horses the above partial list isjust some of his imports and their out crosses.
I am of the opinion that everything matters not just the flavor of the moment. Research the pedigrees on Datasource and you will find these horses ran in the best circles. Their owners established their names as breeders from thesesame horses progeny.

I completely agree with you, our senior stallion, JS Padronov is out of a 3/4 Babson mare (Maarlee) and his consistency as a sire is one of the best I have ever seen. Our junior stallion, Zeus MR is by Padronov out of a Babson related mare and has many crosses to the great Babson imports. I have been told by many old time breeders that he looks like he stepped off the Babson ranch.

actually there are a number of babson threads-this one is about the 2nd or 3rd she posted about the same thing so I think it just got lost Mer

Now you can't put up a statement like that without pictures!!! That's just teasing to those of us who are interested in the Babson lines and are going to want to enjoy seeing modern stock that still shows the Babson influence
