At its founding, additional experts from the Arabian breeding industry joined: James Swaenepoel (Belgium), Giampaolo Gubbiotti (Italy), Raphael Curti (France), Marco Franchini (Italy) and Sven Schick (Germany).

How it all began

A small group of European breeders met in 2017 to discuss the challenges of Arabian breeding in Europe.

They decided to join forces and founded a joint-stock company to unite European breeders, develop common solutions, and mobilize financial and political resources.

The goal was to stop the decline of Arabian breeding in Europe and to create a sustainable foundation for the future.

Strong Partner: Arabian Futurity Europe

To ensure financial stability and professional support during the founding phase, Arabian Futurity Europe was involved as a strong partner and initial investor.

This non-profit organization already brought over 15 years of experience in organizing breeding auctions, as well as annual foal and yearling shows.

It guaranteed that the later stock issues for breeders are based on fair and secure valuations.

Our Goals

EBT aims to improve the competitiveness of European Arabian breeding and strengthen the marketing of Arabian horses.

Our Vision

Our vision is to establish a leading network in Europe that supports breeders at the highest level and assists in their growth.

Our Measures
