The Arabian horse is a mighty horse bread which has developed in the Arabian Peninsula for the past couple of thousand years. The horses reflect all that is good in horses; strength, bravery, beauty and endurance.
The Bedouins were a nomadic people who are given credit for first taming the Arabian horse. The Bedouins made every effort to protect the purity of these horses, and many could trace back the lineage of the horses they owned. During this time, it was critical to have a horse which was strong, fast, and courageous. It also had to be capable of surviving in the desert environment. The Bedouin tribes were constantly at war with other tribes in the region, and it was necessary to have a horse which could lead them into battle.
