Style

The Arabian horses have a wedge shaped head, big forehead, large eyes, large nostrils, and small muzzles. The also have a slight forehead bulge between the eyes called a jibbah. This adds additional sinus capacity and it is believed to be a trait developed to help them adapt to there original desert climate. They also have a long curved neck witch is very distinct.
14.2 is genuinely the cut off between horse and pony, but of the Arabs this does not apply. The normally stand anywhere between 14.1 and 15.1 hands high. It is a myth that Arabians are so strong because they have a greater bone density, short cannons, sound feet, and a broad short back. The height has nothing to do with how strong they are.
Arabians that were of good discipline were allowed to reproduce. This is why the Arabian is often seen as a family horse of horse for children. The United States Equestrian Federation also allows children to be around stallions at shows which is not normal for other breeds. They can be considered a hot breed, mainly because of there intelligence they are quick to act. The Arabian that I worked with was a little hot headed, but nothing like most thoroughbreds. There are a lot of people that think the hot blooded horses are harder to train. This is not the case in most Arabians. There good nature overcomes the every now and aging hot heading thing to do. DC was the name of the Arab that I worked with and she is a spitting image of factual look of an Arabian.
