ABSTRACT



Under estimation came 1106 purebred Arabian mares, fillies, stallions and colts, who in the years 2001-2005 participated in Polish National and Youth Arabian Horse Shows, as well as in the International Show at Falborek 2004 and 2005. Compared were such traits, as type, head and neck, body and topline, legs, movement and a total point score. In the tested population separated were damlines differring to a significant or a highly significant degree from other ones in terms of point scores for the specified traits. It was found, that total point scores were similar for all damlines, especially for the traits “body” and “legs”.

Key words: Arabian horses, damlines, point scores, shows, traits.
