Bazleyd was first prize Arabian stallion at the Ohio State Fair 1932, second under saddle, and Champion Arabian of the show, all sexes competing. This was the most important show of the year for Arabians in the United States. In winning this championship, he defeated notably the horse which had twice been champion in California, two recently imported mares and two imported stallions. One of the latter was a desert bred horse which had been champion at the Richmond Royal Show, England.
Bazleyd is a horse of commanding style and very distinctive Arabian type. He has the full-bodied, smooth, very symmetrical form and small, bloodlike head tapering to open nostrils that is associated with the elite type of Arabian. He is such a powerfully built horse as to appear much larger than he actually is. His chest is remarkable for depth and width; his shoulders are deep and well laid; he carries a good middle piece, low flanks, and the set-up of his hind quarters is exceptionally broad and muscular.
Bazleyd makes a good impression under saddle and in harness, goes collectedly and with charming animation. He carries a strong tail in a high �water spout� and a naturally arched neck.
This is a masculine young stallion of decided personality, and bred as he is, should make a very successful sire. He comes of a long line of outstanding sires in tail male, tracing through the great Mesaoud, Aziz, and Harkan to the great Zobeyni, ancestor also of the line of Wazir, and through his daughter, Bint Nura, of the line of Feysul, sire of both Ibn Yasmak and Rasim.
