The exquisite Arabian horse is possibly the oldest pure-bred horse in the world, originating in Saudi Arabia. Rock paintings dating back 8,000 years, illustrate a horse that looks remarkably similar to the modern

Arab. The wild  Arab    horses were captured and domesticated in several countries, but the Bedouin Arabs are the most famous. This desert line is known as the Elite Arab. The Bedouins in-bred their horses in order to reinforce the breed traits of stamina and endurance, intelligence, beauty, and courage. They needed a horse that could endure the harsh desert climate and thrive. The Arab has the consistent ability to pass its conformation and genetics to its offspring and has been highly sought-after for founding and refining breeds.
The Arab stands 14 to 15 hands high at the withers and has a small head with a dished face, alert ears and large expressive eyes. He has a long, crested neck which is broad at the base where it sets into the body. The chest is well muscled, broad and deep. The back is short and muscular, the legs sculpted and refined, and the hooves small. The mane and tail are thick and flowing, with the tail set high and carried proudly. These traits combine to give us the elegant, graceful Arabian we know and love.
