ABOUT US

The Purebred Arabian Horse. A warhorse and true companion from the past.
Nowadays pure beauty with still the strength, power and loyalty of the 'old days'
Thinking about the Arabian horse, you think about a beautiful head, dish, big dark eyes, tiny little muzzle,
solid body, level topline and croup, long legs with great length of neck, combined with a powerful extended trot
full of attitude and tail carriage.

When this comes in a white colour and contains the names of Ali Jamaal, Salaa el Dine, Bey Shah & Gazal al Shaqab,
then you have found the dreamhorse of Talitha Bakker, founder of Arabian Stud Europe.

Arabian Stud Europe was founded in The Netherlands in 1997.
A hobby breedingfarm, established for our enjoyment.
During the day Talitha is doing the PR and marketing for an engineering company
and also workes as a journalist for Tutto Arabi Magazine.

Arabian Stud Europe is her way to relax and enjoy the horses!
With the years passing, the quality increased.
As of 2006 mainly focussing on the Brazilian bloodlines, combined with some Straight Egyptian breeding.
A cross that proofs to be very succesful in both the showring and breedingbarn!
Nowadays the studfarm is managed by Simone Leo (salesmanager) and Rose Helwig (farm manager)

At Arabian Stud Europe, the horses are being treated like real family members.
They come out every day, the whole year long, including the stallions!
Their well being and hapiness always comes first!

Besides being great showhorses and even better producers, all horses are also ridden.
All goes in combination of harmony and trust.

The farm of Arabian Stud Europe is located in a paradise like enviroment.
The fields are enormous, green and of good quality.
The stables are very big (5m x 4m) equiped with a camera system.
All the stables have a outdoor window and low bars so the horses can keep in contact with eachother.
All the stables and fields have automatic drinkers.
The farm itself is surrounded by forest and nature and a very peaceful place.

For Arabian Stud Europe the goal is to breed high quality showhorses.
We like our horses to have long necks and beautiful dishy faces with big eyes, a large forhead, a tiny litle muzzle.
But we always try to also keep a strong body, strong, clean legs and extreem movement and attitude.

ASE Jazzeree (Jazzmeen x Dakaree)

A perfect example of this breedinggoal has recently been born.
ASE Jazzeree is a grey filly, sired by our chief sire Jazzmeen.
Jazzmeen is coming out of the best Brazilian lines, carrying twice Ali Jamaal, twice Bey Shah and twice El Shaklan.
The mother of Jazzeree is the beautiful Dakaree.
A daughter of Dakar el Jamaal out of Ultimate Fancy by Ultimate Star.
With Jazzeree a new chapter of Arabian Stud Europe has began and we are looking very much forward to the future!!
