Performance trials
  1. Races – should be organized according to the assumptions elaborated by Bogfdan Ziętarski in 1926;
    • selection for speed isn`t the main goal of Arabian horse breeding;
    • Arabian horses should be raced as 3-y.o.and 4-y.o.
    • as high percent of each age group, as possible, should be submitted to race trials;
    • races for Arabian horses should be treated as health and stamina tests; that`s why shortening of distances should be avoided;
    • entering the races by horses descending from sirelines and damlines recommended by the Program should be encouraged by adequate prize money.
  2. Alternative performance tests, as endurance races or equestrian competitions.
Implementation of the Program
  1. In those studs, what could make „banks of genes”, rotating groups of mares should be bred to stallions from the sirelines threatened by extinction, as: Bairactar DB, Krzyżyk DB, Ibrahim DB, Ilderim DB, Kuhailan Haifi DB, Kuhailan Afas DB, Koheilan Adjuze DB.
  2. To prevent too high inbreeding rate and excessive narrowing the gene pool, stallions from Saklawi I sireline should be used sparsely, for individual cases of mares with show predispositions.
