DARLEY ARABIAN H, ARABIAN, 1700
| Color: b Height: 15h
He was a purebred Arabian, but his pedigree was lost or not recorded when he came to England. He was purchased in Aleppo by Thomas Darley for his father Richard Darley at Aldby Park, near York, England, in 1704.
The eminent authority Sir Theodore Cook says he was the only authentically pure Anazah Arabian in the stud book. One of the three Oriental stallions to arrive who between them would become the tail-male-line progenitors of every living thoroughbred today. http://www.bloodlines.net/TB/Bios/DarleyArabian.htm
