This exceptional horse, born in the Middle East, was first and foremost the Bedouin’s companion. A fearless war horse, the Arabian horse was also a valuable partner of peace. The pregnant mares and foals lived in the Bedouin tents with women and children, and this helps explain the Arabian horses’ particular attachment to humans, which is much stronger than in any other breed.

This extraordinary horse conquered the heart of the most important war chief, Napoleon, and slowly conquered the rest of the world.

Each country then decided to make a breeding selection depending on their needs and climate, and this is how the modern lines were created. In the same breed, there are many different standards. For example, a straight Egyptian or pure Spanish Arabian horse does not look like a pure Russian or Polish Arabian. Within each strain, different looks exist.

Today, we can breed these different lines in the same individual, taking the best bloodlines from Egyptian, Polish, Russian, American, French, and Crabbet. The Arabian horse is truly an international breed, with many standards. That’s exactly what makes the Arabian breed so rich and versatile, with its diversity in the genes and look.
