A creator in its own right in the equine world, the Arabian is a powerful, intelligent, athletically conformed beauty with a nobility and gentleness like no other. Casting a light should darkness consume his/her master's soul, the true Straight Egyptian Arabian horse is a loyal mount with impeccable qualities, both inside and out.

Each horse at Sharabia Acres is selected by a number of factors that influence breeding decisions. First, by assessing each horse's conformation as an individual while also noting their weak area(s). Sheila and Curtis believe that, although pedigrees are important, the individual horse must express an overall quality.  Such qualities include correct legs, short cannons and strong hooves - a trademark of the original desert bred; deep girths for lung capacity; terrific shoulders; good length of hip; and a long stride - to mention a few. As the shape of a beautiful Arabian head varies in type, Sheila and Curtis look for wide foreheads with large, expressive eyes that testify to their intelligence and express emotions; large jowls; large, expansive nostrils; and adequate room for a windpipe. Overall, the Arabian should be well balanced with good conformation. 

The Arabian must also show intelligence and train-ability. As such, most of the horses at Sharabia Acres are started under saddle, pending their age, including the mares. Both Curtis and Sheila strongly believe, and have experienced, how assessing a horse's movement and "thinking" under saddle benefits and influences breeding decisions.
