The stud

المربط

Breeding at El Adiyat

A Moroccan stud dedicated to the Barb and the Arab-Barb, built on the rigorous selection of stallions and mares, with particular attention to breeding and to how the horse is used — fantasia and handiness above all — so as to preserve the authenticity of the bloodlines and improve the quality of every crop.

“The coursers”: the stud’s name evokes horses surging forward at the gallop, an image the logo draws in Arabic letters.

The horse of the Maghreb

الحصان البربري

Barb

Native to the Maghreb and present in North Africa for 3,500 years, the Barb was the companion of nomads and of the horse breeders of the Atlas and the High Plateaus. Throughout history it has been used to improve many other breeds. An outstanding saddle and endurance horse with energetic gaits, it is at ease on hard, rough ground.

in North Africa: 3,500 years
at the withers: 1.45 – 1.60 m

Conformation

A horse that “fits in a square”, often grey: a fairly strong head with a straight to slightly convex profile, a slightly arched neck, a gently sloping croup, fine yet sturdy legs and small hooves with high heels.

Elegance and hardiness

الحصان العربي البربري

Arab-Barb

Born of crossing the Purebred Arabian with the Barb, the Arab-Barb combines the qualities of both ancestors. More harmonious than the Barb, it is an excellent saddle and Tbourida horse, valued for its versatility, its docility and its resilience in varied climates and on difficult terrain. Together with the Barb, it makes up most of Morocco’s horse population.

Arab-Barbs identified in Morocco: 60,000
at the withers: 1.45 – 1.60 m

Conformation

A fine head, often with a concave profile, an expressive eye, a supple neck, lean muscle, a well-developed chest and dry, sturdy legs: a graceful horse with great stamina.
