Uses

Arabians are known as a versatile breed. They are used in Saddle Seat, Western Pleasure, Hunt Seat, Dressage, Cutting Reining, and Endurance Riding, train riding, and working ranch horse. They are also very commonly found for children to ride. Of all of these disciplines they are most commonly found in Endurance riding. This is because of there high stamina. The Tevis Cup is 100 miles long in one day the Arabians are the most common bread to win. In the factual evidence it shows that they can be good at jumping, but that is not what I have found to be true. The Arab DC that I worked with would not jump a fence to save her life. My farrier has also told me stories about how Arabians horses are just not known to be good jumpers. I guess there’s exceptions to every breed. They are also very common in activities not just competitions. They are most commonly seen in fairs, movies, parades, and circuses. They movies they were popular in for example was The Black Stallion, The Young Black Stallion, and Hidalgo. In the movie The Young Black Stallion there were over 40 Arabians used to film this movie. They were in movies dating all the way back from the 1926’s. They are also great for showing off in a crowd. They are used as mascots for football teams like the University of Southern California Trojans.
Arabians are a really nice breed, short, but strong, smart, but hot headed. They are really balanced and I have always enjoyed working with them.
