Arabian

Admired for their distinctive, dished facial profile, large eyes, and high intelligence, the Arabian horse, reputed to be the oldest continuous breed, lived among the desert tribes of the Arabian Peninsula from at least 2500 B.C. Bred by the Bedouin as war mounts for an extreme climate, the Arabian evolved with an unequaled level of stamina and energy. The breed’s age-old affinity with man is legendary; Arabians often shared the tents of their nomadic owners, along with their food and water.
