FROM DESERT SANDS TO GLOBAL FAME - The Whirlwind Story of the Arabian Horse

Join us on a journey through time as we explore the rich history of the Arabian horse and its progression along time modernity. For centuries, this magnificent breed has been prized for its beauty, grace, and versatility. From desert nomads to European royalty, the Arabian horse has captured the hearts of people around the world.
We look into both fact and myth as we delve into the Arabian horse's ancient origins, tracing its lineage back to the ancient Bedouin tribes of Arabia. We'll then explore how the breed evolved and spread across the globe, highlighting key moments that have shaped its development.
See how along history this prized gift was so cherished only now to be lost in world that has reduced its importance to one of show and competition.

    I really hope so as well. It's a frightening predicament. It all has to do with passion. And if that passion fades then so might the future of the Arabian. But I am an optimist and I believe such a creature of beauty hasn't told its final tale. More will be spoken and heard of this amazing creature. Thank you so much for watching and I am glad you connected with the Arabian.

They are intelligent, beautiful but some are very hot blooded. 4 Geldings, 1 very opinionated Chestnut Mare but her mother, my older mare is the most kind and gentle horse with the little children that I give riding lessons to. They can be challenging to ride but are beautiful to look at especially when they do a floating trot. And they are never mean.

    I had a traditional Arab of very old breeding, she looked nothing like the ‘show’ arabs, she was a show jumper, a cross country jumper, an eventing horse, she could run for miles and miles, no problem, her dressage was her forte she turned it on and danced, not for me but for everyone, she liked to make people happy she knew she was beautiful and she could run…. Faster than the wind itself, we got offered over 6 numbers for her, we never sold her, she watched my babies grow and protected them and watched over them like she did me, she was ‘family’ she died at 38 years old with everyone she loved with her, I could never replace her, I haven’t ridden since, her death took part of me… they are the best of all horses, the pure horse, angels on earth x protectors guardians, magical, to know one, a pure one, changes you, they change everything x

    I have noticed a concerning trend in some Arabians. I have seen the dished concave of the face becoming more severe, so much so, in a few I've seen, that I asked an equine vet about it. She responded that she has seen it as well, fortunately not in high numbers. and, she has also seen the negative consequences. I can see a future for these horses having breathing problems as the upper nasal bone deforms enough to have a respiratory impact narrowing the passage of air. It is also very unattractive. These severely dished heads probably will not do well, especially in endurance races. (IMO)

    I completely agree with you. And it’s the strictly show competition element that is driving this genetic alteration. For some it seems that the various subtle yet sharp beautiful features of the Arabian aren’t quite enough. And it’s regrettably being supported by those who are positioned as “Experts” that award such degradation, in my opinion, of the natural breed. It’s a shame really as the consequences are yet to be defined. Thank you so much Adriana for your thoughts.

    Actually, genome mapping shows that the first hot blooded horses developed once and only once in Central Asia, most likely Turkmenistan. After the end of the last Ice Age, horses, being a cold steppe creature, went extinct in most of Eurasia except the steppe proper. If there had been a significant horse population in the desert, they most likely would have been a preferred food animal over gazelle but there is no evidence for this. After the wheel was developed in Mesopotamia, onagers (wild asses) and oxen were used to pull vehicles for which there is a great deal of archeological evidence, but not horses. The ancestors of modern horses seem to have been introduced into the Middle East after the development of true chariots with spoked wheels from the Sintashta culture east of the Urals and when riding became more feasible after the appearance of the Dom2 mutation in the Pontic Caspian steppe. This mutation produced both a stronger back and less startle reflex which produced more tractable individuals. The story of the creation of the Arabian is a particularly beautiful folktale but is not the actual story. Also the Bedouin preferred bay horses, not chestnuts, considering them more durable. And least you think I am dissing Arabians, I own one. If you want to compete in 100 mile endurance races, don’t waste your time and money on anything else.

Thank for sharing and taking the time to add to the factual history of the Arabian. Folklore is necessary though as a complimentary narrative to factual history.
