Arabians


Some people love the horse breeds of Arabians like I love Thoroughbreds. The Arabian horse is known to be very intelligent, spirited, and have great stamina. The Arab is one of the most recognizable breed in the world. This is because of there distinct head shape slender bodies and holding there tail straight into the air. Arabs have archaeological evidence that they are one of the oldest horse breeds. There are bones that resemble the modern day Arabians dating all the way back 4,500 years. They originated in the Middle East, but spread around the world by war and trade. They were traded to help other breeds improve on speed, refinement, endurance, and good bone. Arabian blood lines are fond in most breeds of horses today.
It is sad that because they came from the desert people would bring them into the tents with them to keep them warm and safe. The close connections to humans has made this breed good natured, quick to learn, and willing to please. The also were in war so this is where they got there high alert and endurance.
I trained an Arabian for about six years now. Everything the facts say I can personally relate to. The one thing that the text does lay out however is that being smart does not always mean having common since. I will agree that they are a very smart breed, but they can also be a bit of an air head. Arabians are one of the top ten most loved breed.
