I have recently started riding a stunning Anglo Arab at work and the owner has offered me to show him. He's a stallion from Sudanese and stands about 13.2-14hh. I have never shown an Anglo Arab before so have no idea which classes I could do with him and if I need to show him plaited with pretty browband like a show pony? Sadly she doesn't have his papers so could only do unaffiliated showing with him? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Kind regards

Such a shame you do not have his papers as if you registered him he could so the P/B Arab classes - Cherif classes are wonderful. You might find thst most unaffiliated shows classes do not allow stallions in ridden show pony classes but if you do find these yes to plaits and pretty browband! You could ask the owner to talk to the AHS (Arab Horse Society) as I am sure they could do a search for his registration and issue duplicate papers which would open up so much more for you> Good Luck

To be an "Anglo Arab" an animal has to be the product of a Registered TB (Wetherbys in the UK, or in it's country of origin) and a registered Pure Bred Arab (The AHS in the UK, or the Arabian Registry of its country of origin).
Or, mixed further generations of original Pure bred (Arab & TB) blood as above. There must be no other blood (eg: in the UK, to make it easy to describe, Welsh) or the animal becomes a 'Part-Bred' Arabian.
How do you know that he is an AA? As Chloesmum correctly says, the AHS might be able to conduct a search for you but you would need to provide them with as much proven pedigree as possible. Naturally, a fee would be charged.
As he has apparently been imported from outside the UK his Stud book of the country of origin must be approved by WAHO (World Arabian Horse Organisation). Worldwide, all Arabian Stud books/Registrys are 'affiliated' to WAHO.
As Chloesmum also states, at 'worst' he could be registered as a Part-Bred Arab but you will need to PROVE a minimum of 12 1/2 % Registered Pure Arabian blood in his pedigree.
There's a lot of research to be done - good luck!
(PM me if you wish - if I can be of further help I will do my best - and could put you in the direction of a person with extensive Middle-Eastern breeding knowledge).
PS: If you succeed and were eventually able to show him as a registered AA Stallion, please don't emasculate him by using a too girly too 'pretty' browband!
and PPS: If, worst case scenario, he eventually proves to be of unknown, unregisterable pedigree, is it wise to keep him entire? He should not be used - and a future as a ridden gelding pony would open up many more avenues for him and offer him a happy life.
