The Arabian Horse
When one mentions the Arabian Horse one thinks of beauty, courage, endurance and above all things romance. The Arabian head is small with large expressive eyes, large nostrils and tiny muzzle. They run with tail held high and beautiful proud arched necks. They can come in many colors such as grey, chestnut, bay, roan, brown, and occasionally black. Most stand between 14.1 and 15.2 hands with a weight of around eight-hundred to one-thousand pounds as adults.The Arabian breed is the oldest of all the light breeds and is the foundation stock for other breeds of horses also. He is different because he is not the result of selective breeding as some other breeds are but rather is a breed that has been recognized for thousands of years and has been kept at its purest form as much as possible.
The Arabian breed excels at a wide variety of activities popular today. They are excellent on the trail as well as in the show ring. There is no show event that the Arabian does not stand out in and as an endurance horse there is no better. Racing has become a very popular event with Arabians as well.There are more Arabian horses living in the United States than all the other countries in the world combined. That is a huge benefit to those looking for that special horse. You can find a huge selection of Arabians that will be of the best quality to purchase.
The Arabian horse in "show" is a rare thing to behold. Their tack is fine and small and the saddles are beautiful with lots of shine and glitter. The riders are also adorned in fancy costumes with lace and shiny sequines making the show ring a buz with glitter and beautiful prancing horses.
Some think that the Arabians are the most beautiful of all the riding breeds, but it is important to remember that he is not just a pretty horse. They are probably one of the best all around family horse, show horse, endurance horse and certainly a major competitor in sporting and show events.
