North American Shagya-Arabian Society, Inc. NASS (original) (raw)
Shagya-Arabian breeding in North America officially began in 1986 with the founding of the North American Shagya-Arabian Society, Inc. (NASS).
Later that year, NASS was accepted by the International Shagya-Araber Gesellschaft (ISG) as the official registry for the USA and Canada. The ISG is the International body supporting the breeding and preservation of the Shagya-Arabian,
The Purpose of NASS:
- Promotion, Preservation, and Improvement of the Purebred Shagya-Arabian horse.
- Establishment of a Shagya-Arabian Registry for Purebred and Partbred Shagya Arabians (SHARONA).
- Regulation and approval of breeding stock.
- Dissemination of information about the breed to the public
- Establishment of Performance Awards programs for performance achievement.
- Promotion of cooperation with Shagya-Arabian breeders around the world, and in particular with the International Shagya-Araber Gesellschaft (ISG).
The Shagya-Arabian
Versatile/Tough/Elegant
Shagya-Arabians were relatively unknown in America before the 1980s, although a few had been imported both before and after World War II. Prior to the founding of the NASS no registry for Shagya-Arabians existed in America, and they were sometimes mistakenly registered as either purebred or part-bred Arabians.
