FOUNDATION

Early American Foundation (Vol.V) Horses that were registered in the Arabian Horse Club Registry of America stud book volume V. Includes registrations 1 thru 2924, roughly thru the year 1944.  These horses are designated "Early American Foundation" by the AFAHA and are also included in the CMK group.  (SILVR TALISMAN'S PEDIGREE IS MADE UP OF ALL OF THESE HORSES - EXCEPT FOR THE GREAT *NABORR AND *WITEZ II)

There are some preservation breeders that only focus on one particular horse and try to get as much line breeding in their pedigrees as possible but primarily in the top sire line due to only the sire being able to pass on the "Y" chromosome which carries other genes/traits that may otherwise be lost. Some of the horses that are the focus of this type of preservation breeding are El Emir, Mesaoud, Witez II, Ghazala, Image, Raffles, Skowronek, Nazeer, Moniet El Nefous, Nasik & Farana. These horses were chosen for this type of breeding program because it was believed that they each had specific individual traits and talents that were being lost in the Arabian breed.

CMK

Kellogg refers to any horse that was owned by or bred by W.K. Kellogg and does not include horses bred after the Kellogg Ranch was turned over to the US Remount. Kellogg bloodlines include many horses from the Crabbet, Davenport, Harris, Babson, and Traveler's Rest breeding programs.  Horses of Kellogg breeding are included in the CMK group.  (THIS HAS BEEN OUR MAIN FOCUS WITH OUR STALLION SILVR TALISMAN AND OUR MARE, BUTTON TOP RETHA)
