What is a CMK Arabian? THE LEGEND OF THE KUHAYLAN STRAIN
A CMK Arabian horse must meet all three of the following criteria.
- Be 75% by pedigree descended from CMK sources.
- Have a tail male (or sire) line to a CMK source.
- Have a tail female (or dam) line established in North American by 1950.
The term CMK is a trademark of Michael Bowling and Rick Synowski and is used to describe Arabian horses which meet the CMK definition.
