Professor Dr. Salah El-Din Fathi, head of Al-Zahraa station for breeding purebred Arabian horses, says in the introduction to the book “Persons Who Made the History of the Egyptian Horse.” As I was browsing through the book “Persons Who Made the History of the Egyptian Horse,” I remembered the words of God Almighty, “And say ‘Work, and God will see your work and your foundation’.” .. So I realized that this work is not just a book added to the Arabic library, among the author’s books, but rather that it is a work – in my opinion – that has the right to occupy a prominent position scientifically, culturally and historically among works that are rare in this field, and why not, and it is one of the first, most complete, documented and completed works. , which took us on a historical journey, in which we spent 110 years of pleasure of knowledge, from which we elicited ample information, which is difficult to find in a work with this abundant effort, which the writer made, which resulted in a work that prides itself on Arab culture and thought.
Indeed, “the horses are tied in their good intentions until the Day of Resurrection, and their people will suffer for them.”.. They suffer in order to succeed in achieving a research effort from investigation and review, scientific from completing and documenting information, thinking about proving the ingenuity of Arabs and Egypt in a field of great specialization and privacy, and returning the right to its people, The people of credit for all the world, literary by presenting a technically refined text, without exaggeration or negligence, artistic by its captivating and wonderful output in every detail of its details, a work that can be said to be a comprehensive and preventative, it suffices you about others, and no one else quenches your thirst for knowledge. All this in light of severe obstacles, enough to frustrate those who address this matter, or to have their utmost ambition to present a book that repeats what preceded it, and often represents a number in the Arabic library.
But we are in front of a book that in itself is a forefront, as soon as you open the first page, until you find yourself within its lines, interacting with every creatively formulated word, pulling you with its magic on a journey that transcends space and time, unites with the characters, sees yourself, interacts with the accuracy of events, and ingenuity Expression, clarity of characterization, smooth sequence and discipline of dates; To end with the last letter of the book to an inevitable result, with the same logic of drama in international films, which is that this book restored the right to its owners, mentioned the people of credit for their thanks, and explained this credit, with their hard effort and intense sweat in serving the purebred Egyptian Arabian horses, and how they were unique in their reign at the top, and made Egypt a destination for horse breeders from all over the world; Hoping to improve the genetic traits of their horses, and how Egypt did not care about them as usual, and worked hard on the horse, and achieved a breakthrough in horse breeds in the world.
We deduce from the interest of countries in horses and their improvement in the economic, political and social situation of those countries.
Before we regret that period in which horses in Egypt suffered from marginalization, we now find ourselves in front of the highest leadership of the state with interest in Arabian horses, an interest that will undoubtedly return them to leadership again.
