Hemlock Brooks Egyptian King certainly is one of - if not the best- promoted sires in the history of miniature horses. With 238 foals in the AMHA-records (no additional registrations since the end of 2004) Egyptian King has had ample opportunity to put a stamp on the American Miniature Horse breed. And he did! With 37 foals winning the title of World Champion or Reserve World Champion.

In the early eighties, Egyptian Kings owners, Bob and Sandy Erwin, decided to turn their miniature horse hobby into a business with the same goals as large successful big horse farms, simply to produce superior quality horses. They set the standard for the industry throughout the eighties and the nineties with the best breeding foundation stock available, an organized professional breeding program designed to improve the breed, a state-of-the-art facility to enable breeding, training and showing, and most importantly, securing the best available personnel.

At the 1986 AMHA World Championships, their NFC-farm had won 6 out of 8, and most interesting: Egyptian King, by then an 11-year old, was the World Grand Champion Stallion. The 1999 National Show still showed the strength of the line with over 150 Top Ten finishers being descendants of Egyptian King!

Hemlock Brooks Egyptian Kings personal show record includes the following titles:
1983 AMHA World Reserve Champion Senior Stallion;
1983 AMHA World Champion Senior Stallions >30" <32";
1986 AMHA World Grand Champion Senior Stallion.

Hemlock Brook Egyptian Kings son, NFC Egyptian Kings Topsider, currently takes the 8^th position on the AMHA All Time Top-10 Futurity Sire List.
Roughly 65% of Egyptian Kings foals were born at NFC. Grosshill bred about 15% of Egyptian Kings babies.
