Our History

Al Jood Stud is a living expression of heritage, passion, and vision — a place where the legacy of the Arabian horse is not only preserved, but reimagined for the future.

Founded in 2009 by Mohamed Jaidah, Al Jood Stud was born from a lifelong dream. From an early age, Mohamed was deeply inspired by the Arabian horse — drawn not only to its beauty and spirit, but to its profound connection with the culture and identity of the Arabian Peninsula. Horses have long stood as symbols of pride and poetry in this region, woven into its stories, art, and even the stars above the desert. For Mohamed, this legacy was personal.

The stud’s location just north of Doha, near Al Khor, holds deep family meaning. Originally developed by his parents in the 1970’s as a weekend retreat, the land became a place of inspiration, surrounded by animals and open skies. Here, Mohamed’s passion was shaped — a passion that would later find direction through the influence of world-renowned stallions like Gazal Al Shaqab and Marwan Al Shaqab, whose presence set a new benchmark for his vision of excellence.

Guided by a desire to contribute meaningfully to the Arabian breed, Mohamed spent years immersing himself in the world of pedigrees, genetics, and breeding philosophies. He sought out respected mentors, traveled internationally, and studied programs that emphasized not just beauty, but genetic diversity and long-term sustainability. His philosophy continues to steer Al Jood’s program today — one that values genetic variation, functional beauty, and purposeful breeding, rather than trends or repetition.

From the first acquisitions to today’s expanding program, Al Jood Stud has grown into a home for both purebred Arabians and a curated group of straight Egyptian lines, honoring the classic strains while embracing modern ideals. The horses are selected from elite breeding programs around the world, and the stud’s breeding decisions are made with a thoughtful, forward-looking approach.

Today, Al Jood horses are not only cherished in Qatar, but also trained and presented by leading professionals across Europe and the United States. They are consistently seen on the world’s most prestigious stages — from US Nationals to Paris, collecting titles and accolades that speak to the strength of the program.

Now over a decade since its founding, Al Jood Stud is proud to be recognized as an emerging force in the global Arabian horse community.

Our mission is to continue building a program defined by authenticity, excellence, and respect for the breed’s timeless spirit — always with an eye on the future, and a heart rooted in the past.
