Saklawi horse

Saklawi (Arabic: صقلاوي, ṣaqlāwiyy), Seglawi or Siglavy in Central Europe, is one of the five mythical Arabian horse bloodlineages recognized as pure by the Bedouins, the Al Khamsa. Selected by the Ruwallah and Anizah, two nomadic tribes of the Arabian Desert, this lineage was imported to Egypt several times in the 19th and 20th centuries, and is still bred today in Saudi Arabia and Iran.

A "feminine" breed, Saklawi horses are relatively small, but renowned for their beauty, finesse and endurance, which are superior to those of other Arabian horse lineages. They are generally bay-colored. Imported to Central Europe in the early 19th century, they have influenced several other local horse breeds, in particular the Lipizzan, Shagya and Gidran.
