Arabian Horse Breed Information
Profile
The Bedouin tribes of the desert,
believing the horse to be a gift from God,
told many romantic tales of the Arabian's
beginnings. One such legend claims God
fashioned the desert south wind into a
creature who "shall fly without wings". No
matter how the horse came to the desert,
Bedouins took them as prized members of
their households. Individual horses were
selected for the gentle, affectionate
nature, the striking look and proud spirit
the breed is known for today. The Arabian
was also bred to withstand long treks across
the desert and the tribal wars which
sometimes followed such trips. The Bedouins
developed horses with strength, courage and
stamina required for survival, and for the
speed and responsiveness needed to win the
tribal skirmishes. All in all, the Arabian
Horse developed a significant list of
attributes!
When Europeans sought to improve their
saddle horses, Arabians were imported to
cross with native strains. The standard
procedure was to use purebred Arabians,
especially stallions, to improve stock. The
Byerly Turk, Darley Arabian and Godolphin
Arabian are conspicuous in English
Thoroughbred pedigrees. Similar improvement
plans took place in France, Germany, Spain,
Poland, Hungary, and Russia. Today, Arabians
are found throughout the world and the blood
of Arabians flows in all breeds of light
horses.
Ancient Bedouin breeders were careful to
record bloodlines and jealously guarded the
purity of their Arabians. As a result, even
though centuries have passed, today's
Arabian cannot be mistaken for any other
breed. Whether ridden English or western,
shown in park classes or used for trail
riding, Arabians have the same basic
distinctive appearance.
The Arabian's head has a characteristic
dished profile with a prominent eye, large
nostrils and small teacup muzzle. His
gracefully arched neck rises out of a long
sloping shoulder and broad chest. A short,
strong back and high trail carriage complete
the picture.
Arabians come in grey, chestnut, bay and
roan and an occasional solid black. Although
some individuals will vary, most are between
14.2 and 15.2 hands in height and weigh
between 800 and 1,000 pounds.
