Old Desert Bred Egyptian breeding is a small group of Arabian horses who descend in every line from the desert horses gathered by the Royal Egyptian breeders of the 19th and early 20th century. Amazingly, a small number of these horses, around 800 world wide, have survived in pure form to modern times. They are primarily straight Egyptian, all are Al Khamsa and can be traced exclusively to the Egypt 1, 2 and Blunt ancestral elements, as defined by Al Khamsa Arabians in 1983. The Egypt 1 ancestral element includes foundation horses from the breeders Abbas Pasha (22 horses), Ali Pasha Sherif (8 horses), Prince Ahmed Pasha Kemal (7 horses), Khedive Abbas II (3 horses), Ahmed Bey Sennari (3 horses); the Blunt ancestral element comes from Lady Anne Blunt (15 horses); the Egypt 2 ancestral element from the Royal Agricultural Society (RAS) of Egypt (8 horses).Lady Anne developed close ties with the Egyptian breeders who shared her devotion to the meticulous breeding philosophies of the Bedouin. The group included Ali Pasha Sherif, Prince Ahmed Pasha Kemal, Prince Mohamed Ali and Dr. Branch of the RAS.

Prince Kemal El-Dine Hussein
Prince Kemal El-Dine was heir and successor to the throne of Egypt. When his father Sultan Hussein died in 1917 Prince Kemal El-Dine declined the throne as he had no ambition to take his place or that of Abbas II and nor was he attracted by the prospect of being a figure head ruler under the control of the British.
The prince was an avid sportsman and maintained several splendid palaces and hunting lodges as well as superb stables for his Arabian horses. Prince Kemal El-Dine was one of the most influential breeders in the early 1900s. However, exports from his stables were not numerous and *Bint Serra I, imported in 1932 by Henry Babson to the United States, remains his most famous mare.
It is said that there was a great rivalry between Prince Kemal El-Dine and Prince Mohammed Ali over their horses. Prince Kemal El-Dine was a donor to the R.A.S. and often borrowed horses from them for his own breeding program. Sadly, no records remain of this outstanding stud, except for references in the Egyptian studbooks.
