So I bought this wonderful gelding this past spring who is fully papered, registered as a part-arabian with CAHR (Canadian Arabian Horse Registry).
I know next to nothing about pedigrees and would love to hear some insight if anyone has anything to share 
Here is his pedigree:

Feel free to check out the blog to see photos!
His sire has a lengthy show record showing in dressage, hunter, show hack, halter, reining, trail, and western pleasure.
Looks like DP Black Dakota was exported to Germany.
El Hilal was a well known Egyptian halter stallion. Theegyptianprince is another well known SE.
Wildwood Kochar was a Park and halter stallion.
Help so far?
Not sure what you know so far or want to know (what they showed, anything useful, what type of pedigree, etc). 
Congrats on your new horse.
For the Arabian part. You have Babson breeding on top…this is pretty classic in the effort to create black Arabians…Babson is old Egyptian breeding. El Hilal is newer Egyptian breeding…the 60s…as is The Egyptian Prince. The mare Lessa and Koad are mostly Crabbet bred. All of these lines should be pretty useful performance Arabians. If you wast to research Babson Arabians there is a lot of information. Research El Hilal as an individual he had a wonderful family that owned him. The Egyptial Prince is another big name but thet usually gets pretty quickly into straight egytian breeding. Silver Drift was imported from Crabbet, You will find the black breeding to be very inbred…or linebred…with Fadl and Fay-el-dine and those old horses are fun to read up on. Good luck
Wow, thanks for the info!
Just looking for what they have been used for in the past, what was the breeding mainly for (halter, performance, endurance, etc.). I’m looking to use him as an eventer, so nice to see the dressage and trail in there.
I don’t know much at all about Arab or QH pedigrees, know a touch about TBs, but again, not much.
Where would I be able to look up his sire’s show record?
If you have an AHA membership, you can look it up I think. I just pulled it up on datasource, but you have you pay for that.
Otherwise, PM me your e-mail address and I can email it to you in a word document.
Here is a good start to read about some of the Babson horses

The Arabian part of your horse’s pedigree is pretty old or more or less, not quite as specialized as some of the Arabians today. Most were all around not so specialized in just halter or endurance or whatnot. I have a feeling your guy’s sire was the product of a black breeding program as there are a lot of crosses to black horses specifically.
