Khemosabi (foaled 1967) was a bay Arabian stallion with four stockings and a blaze, who had significant accomplishments in the horse show ring, winning multiple National Championships in both halter and western pleasure performance competition. These wins earned him the highest level achievement award offered by the Arabian Horse Association: the Legion of Masters. In the course of his breeding career, he sired over 1200 foals.^[1] Of these, over 300 were show champions and 75 won national championships.^[2]

[edit] Background

Khemosabi was bred by Dr. Bert and Ruth Husband, sired by Amerigo and out of Jurneeka. ^[1] This pedigree was primarily a combination of bloodlines from the breeding programs of W.K. Kellogg and Henry Babson, and he was promoted as an "All-American" horse. As a young horse, his career was popularized by a series of lighthearted cartoons featuring Khemosabi as a horse who wore a "Lone Ranger" mask, accompanied on his adventures by his "faithful redhaired companion, Ruth," a character modeled on Mrs. Husband. Khemosabi was noted for having a large and enthusiastic fan base, and a Breyer Horse model was created with his likeness in the 1990s.^[3]

In his show career, Khemosabi was the 1973 U. S. National Champion Halter Stallion, and the 1976 U. S. National Champion and Canadian National Champion in Western Pleasure. He was also the 1976 Canadian National Champion Halter Stallion.^[1] He was one of the only horses to ever win an Arabian National Championship in both halter and performance in the same year, and one of only four stallions to win U.S. National Championships in both halter and performance.^[4]

He was syndicated in 1988 with management remaining in the hands of the Husband's son, Paul. Khemosabi died in 2001 at the age of 34.^[5]
