lifelong love of arabian horses which were held in great veneration in egypt as far back as 1850 bc has become a way of life for eric and arlene lehmann owners of cherry hill arabians rr 3 stouffvilie the lehmanns claim their present 30 horse stable includes animals- whose pedigree can be traced back to the early 1800s when ebbas pasha ruled saudi arabia i in their trips to egypt the lehmanns have acquired pure bred arabian horses and have established contacts with some of the worlds best known breeders as well as influential government officials who control the arabian market in that part of the world they have become good friends with internationally respected arabi an breeder madame el barbary whose own farm is located at the foot of egypts great pyramids the lehmanns have even entered into an informal partnership whereby some of the great ladys own horses now reside at cherry hill according to eric lehmann the couples present involvement with arabians began with their exposure to the somewhat mystical horse still thought by some arabians to be a gift from allah our interest grew out of an initial fascination with and love of arabi an horses its much more than just money although if its done right breeding arabians can be prof itable for 20 years the lehmanns have bred their arabians then sold them to investors who come mainly from the united states contacts in the arab world have always been vitally important as the government presides over the breed ing of arabians eric said the list of people in high places he does business with includes prince alia daughter of jordans king hussein and keeper of the royal stable the lehmanns are also good friends with the egyptian five star general who is commander of that countrys sinai base in the demilita rized zone with the government controlling the breeding the general is a prima ry contact for us in terms of opening doors said eric a presentation and open bar scheduled for june 24 at cherry hill mm dennis m-

the orient and across north america the lehmanns have experienced a large measure of success in acquiring pure bred arabians from the middle east largely due to the influence they have established with their egyptian friends our premier stallion ben ben bilal was imported from egypt two years ago said eric he was well known there and the arabs wanted him it took a lot of work to finally get him he said one of the enjoyable byproducts of breeding his arabians is the inevitable familiarity with ara bian history as well as the unforget table anecdotes one hears of some of the arabian pedigrees today can be traced back to the days of mohammed the horses are a liv- ing piece of historic art and are often bought strictly for their mysti cal attraction he added that mohammed himself held arabians in such high regard as to suggest breeding them was the equivalent of giving alms to the poor the horses are tied in with the religion of the arabs even during warfare they have stopped the fight ing for breeding purposes and you still cant charge stud fees in egypt the lehmanns said they have adopted the philosophy of the great arabian breeders of the arab world with regard to the custodianship of their distinguished animals we are merely the keepers of these wonderful horses said eric the horses are owned by none as for cherry hills june presenta tion he said he looks forward to greeting arabian enthusiasts from all over the world and is anxious to dis play his coveted horses we want to show what we have been doing in recent years this type of show attracts a much wider audi ence than some for when it comes to the breeding of the treasured arabians who are raised more for breed improvement than for other purposes such as rac ing people will come from far and wide in the hope of finding the ulti mate pure bred there is always interest in arabi ans eric said 6422294 specializing in cellular phones installed or portable auto tinting cellular phones running boards
