Arabian horses have spread around the world by both war and trade, used to improve other breeds by adding speed, refinement, endurance, and strong bone. Today, Arabian bloodlines are found in almost every modern breed of riding horse.
Being desert animals also means Arabians are able to function on considerably less water and food than horses of comparable size, which also gives them a more muscular, yet leaner frame which the lady horses just love. The reason Arabian horses are so versatile is because, to put it simply, they had to be.
Known for intelligence, courage, loyalty and a spirited yet gentle disposition, the Arabian breed has an amazing affinity for humans. For centuries the Bedouin treated their horses as members of the family. The foals were raised with their children, the mares sought shelter in their tents.
The purebred Arabian horse is striking. An Arabian's most identifiable characteristics are its finely chiseled head, dished face, long arching neck and high tail carriage. Its entire appearance exudes energy, intelligence, courage and nobility.
Arabian horses breed is over 5,000 years old and is known as the oldest breed and the first domesticated breed of horses. Arabian horses were originally bred in the middle east. Arabian horses live in Europe, Australia and America as well.
Arabian horses have the same basic dietary requirements as other horses. They eat hay or pasture grass primarily. They might get small amounts of grain or supplements to balance any nutritional deficiencies in the hay or pasture, and individual horses may have unique needs that must be taken into consideration.
