Bairactar (1813–1838) also written Bairaktar , was an original Arabian (OA) gray stallion from the Saqlawi-Jidran mare line . The Siglavy line of the Lipizzaner horses and many Shagya Arabs also descend from the Saqlawi tribe.
Bairactar was imported by Baron von Fechting for the Weil stud in 1817 .
With the OA mare Murana I, which was imported for Weil as early as 1816, Bairactar formed the basis of the Weiler thoroughbred Arabian breed. Bairactar was the first stamp stallion on Weil and founder of the well-known Amurath line.
Through the participation of Wilhelm I in the Napoleonic campaigns , on which he rode Arabian stallions for the first time and was able to convince himself of their performance, willingness to perform, endurance and hardness, he decided to breed and to breed this breed himself on the basis of original imports receive. He invested large sums in building up and maintaining the stud in Weil.
Bairactar himself became Wilhelm I's personal riding horse. After his death, the king gave the skeleton to the Hohenheim Agricultural University for teaching purposes. Today it can be seen in the Offenhausen Stud Museum (Gomadingen) .
The “Bairactar Memorial” in the main and state stud Marbach was named after him.
