Intro<\/h3>\n

This is an animal with strong ties to the Arabian<\/a> bloodlines, the idea is that very little of their genetics have been shaped through outside blood. The other shaping factor of these animals is English Thoroughbred<\/a>.
\n<\/p>\n

Origins<\/h3>\n

Dahoman is an Oriental line of halfblooded horses established in Babolna, Hungary, by an Arabian<\/a> stallion named Dahoman who was born in 1846. This stallion was not proven at first, but through generations, his off-spring were crossed with Arabian<\/a> mare lines- Siglavi, Tadmor, Shagya and even Gidran. <\/p>\n

Dahoman III, son of Dahoman, born in 1926, had most of his offspring preserved. However, this line was not kept pure. Similar to the Shagya, the Dahomans were often crossbred with full blood English Thoroughbreds<\/a>. The resulting animal had an entirely different build. <\/p>\n

The Dahoman is taller and more massive than the Shagya Arab<\/a> and because of their solid constitution they were considered to be excellent military horses.<\/p>\n
