A short history lesson

The Arabian horse or Thoroughbred is one of the oldest equine breeds known.
The origins of this breed are in Asia and the Middle East. Paintings and bones found during archaeological excavations prove the existence thousands of years ago on the Arabian Peninsula of horses very similar to the Arabian breed we know today.

Evolving in a harsh desert environment, these horses were domesticated by Bedouin tribes. Centuries of highly selective breeding have produced particularly hardy, courageous, hardy and beautiful horses.
