Description

"Two millennia after the domestication of the first horses, the Arabian appeared, becoming one of the oldest recognizable breeds in ancient art and the archaeological record.

From the earliest history of the breed, Arabians were valued for their endurance, brilliant performance in warfare, and elite status among horses.”
