Shagya Raja AF is closely related to Shagya Royal. He is a more refined type and very elegant, good for heavier mares and mares who travel on the forehand. He received 8’s for his trot and canter: “Trot with rhythm and elasticity, canter ground covering with swinging back” (NASS Inspection). He brings in the special Koheilan line from Hungary through his paternal grand-dam *Aminah, a Koheilan daughter out of a Siglavy Bagdady VI mare.
