THE ARABIAN HORSE

 

 `The Arabian horse`

The Arabian horse is a breed of horse with a reputation for 

intelligence, spirit, and stamina. With a distinctive head shape and

 high tail carriage, the Arabian is one of the most easily recognizable 

horse breeds in the world. It is one of the oldest horse breeds, 

with archaeological evidence of horses that resemble modern Arabians 

dating back 4,500 years. Throughout history, Arabian horses from

 the Middle East spread around the world by both war and trade, 

used to improve other breeds by adding speed, refinement, endurance, and 

good bone. Today, Arabian bloodlines are found in almost every 

modern breed of riding horse.

The Arabian developed in a desert climate and was prized by the 

nomadic Bedouin people, often being brought inside the family tent

 for shelter and protection. This close relationship with humans has 

created a horse breed that is good-natured, quick to learn, and willing

 to please. But the Arabian also developed the high spirit and alertness

 needed in a horse used for raiding and war. This combination of 

willingness and sensitivity requires modern Arabian horse owners to

 handle their horses with competence and respect.

The Versatile Arabian is a slogan of the breed. Arabians dominate 

the discipline of endurance riding, and compete today in many other fields

 of equestrian activity. They are one of the top ten most popular 

horse breeds in the world. Arabian horses are now found worldwide,

 including the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom, 

Australia, continental Europe, South America (especially Brazil), and 

its land of origin, the Middle East.
