What Is The Pyramid
Society?
As the most enduring Arabian
Breeder's organization, The Pyramid Society is world renowned for
its dedication and efforts to promote those rare and treasured
horses whose bloodlines trace back to the deserts of Egypt and
Arabia.
The Society was founded in 1969 by a few insightful and devoted
breeders within North America, who were determined to protect the
heritage of the Egyptian Arabian horse. Inspired by a belief that
Egyptian blood is a historic source of unique and valuable
characteristics, the organization promotes the breeding of straight
Egyptian horses and the use of Egyptian bloodlines as an outcross
perpetuating classic Arabian type. |

Fortified by hard work, imagination, and a common interest, the
Society today has hundreds of members throughout North America and
around the world, numerous beneficial programs for its members, and
executive offices at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky.
In addition to orchestrating the Egyptian Event, The Pyramid Society
also provides available books and reference materials, as well as
hosts numerous social and promotional activities. As attested by one
long-standing Pyramid Society member, "The Pyramid Society has been
instrumental in bringing forth the respect the Egyptian horse
deserves by recognizing and paying tribute to the great sires and
dams that have contributed so much to the Arabian breed. The
Society's tireless dedication toward bringing this awareness to the
world, has indeed, brought fame and popularity to our beloved
Egyptian horses."

Mission Statement
& Strategic Plan
The
Pyramid Society is devoted to the preservation, perpetuation, and
promotion of the Straight Egyptian horse as the premiere source of
classic Arabian type in the world. As the leader of an international
community of breeders and owners, The Pyramid Society strives to
unite its members in the breeding of superior quality Straight
Egyptian horses, and to encourage the use of their blood as a source
of the classic refinement necessary for the Arabian breed at large.
We envision The Pyramid Society as the leader of a world-wide
community of breeders, owners, and devotees united in the pursuit of
excellence.
In 2005, The Pyramid Society Board of
Directors implemented a new strategic plan for The Society.
