Sheykh Obeyd Foundation

The Sheykh Obeyd Foundation is a membership organization, formed in 1989 to encourage the preservation and production of Arabians which trace in all lines to the Abbas Pasha /Ali Pasha Sherif /Blunt and /RAS bloodlines, including the desert breds used in the studs of Ahmed Bey Sennari (a neighbor of the Blunts in Egypt), Khedive Abbas II, and Prince Ahmed Pasha Kemal, the latter two being members of the Egypt's governing family. Basically these bloodlines correspond to Al Khamsa's Ancestral Element designations of EGYPT I, (foundation stock in Egypt utilized by members of the governing family and/or Ali Pasha Sherif and/or Ahmed Bey Sennari between C. 1850 and 1905), EGYPT II (foundation stock acquired by, or certified by, the Royal Agricultural Society during the 1920s.) and BLUNT (foundation stock acquired by Lady Anne and Wilfrid Blunt between 1877 and 1913 for either their Crabbet Stud in England or their Sheykh Obeyd Stud in Egypt).

During the early 1990s there were approximately 650 Arabians which qualified as Sheykh Obeyd. These horses are all eligible for Al Khamsa, and the Asil Club, most are eligible for the Pyramid Society. Their bloodlines have qualified as either Blue List or sub-list.
