This stud is located in the extreme southeast of the Hungarian plain and is one of the oldest state stud farms. This stud was founded in 1785 and developed the Gidran Arab. This horse could be considered the Hungarian version of the Anglo-Arabian. This breed can be traced back to an Arabian that was imported from Arabia in 1816. This Arabian was Gidran Senior and was from a prominent Siglavy strain. He was noted for being “very tempestuous” and many of his descendants inherited this trait and were regarded as being spirited. Gidran Senior was bred in 1820 with Arrogante, a Spanish-bred mare, and resulted in a stallion, Gidran II, who became the foundation sire of this breed. Gidran II was bred with a variety of mares local and imported. The English Thoroughbred was increasingly used for breeding then they were bred back with Arabian to fix the type. The modern Gidran Arab has a bigger frame than the Arabian but has its elegant head and tail. The Gidran Arab stands on average 16 hh and is almost always chestnut in color. This horse has good limbs and has the ability to gallop. The Gidran Arab’s are used in competitive sports and would not be out of place in the English hunting counties. The heavier horses make good carriage horses. The Gidran Arab’s are also bred at Sutveny, and in Bulgaria and Romania. Google Ads
