The Asil Club

The ASIL CLUB is an international membership association for the preservation and rearing of the Asil Arabian Horse. It was founded by Georg Olms and is headquartered in Germany. The Club definition of its bloodlines is as follows:

"The ASIL ARABIAN is a horse whose pedigree is exclusively based on Bedouin breeding of the Arabian peninsula, without any crossbreeding with non-Arabian horses at any time. The word "asil" is derived from the Arabic language and means pure, true, noble and genuine. The ASIL ARABIAN horse should have the riding qualities and the characteristics of type which distinguish the desert Arabian."

The Asil Club has published 4 books with considerable historical information, an Anthology, a beautiful advertising section, and quality reproduction of some of the most beautiful and historical artwork depicting the Arabian horse to be found in any book. The latest volume has over 500 pictures, most in color.

Historically the Asil Club has accepted all horses eligible for any one of the following : AL KHAMSA, Inc., the Blue Catalog, and any horse bred by the Egyptian Agricultural Organization or any stud in Egypt which is supervised by the EAO with the exception of those horses which are descendents of Registan, Sharkasi or Ibn Galabawi, (which are also not Al Khamsa eligible.) The latest Asil Club book indicates that it will also accept horses registered in the Bahrain or Saudi Arabian stud books. Not all Asil Club horses are eligible for Al Khamsa.
