Picture and information borrowed from: International Arabian Horse Association Website: www.arabianhorses.org	One of the oldest and most beautiful breeds, its original make-up is unknown but it appears they lived on the Arabian Peninsula up to 3000 years BC. Possibly no other breed has exerted as much influence on as many of today's breeds. Their desert origins mean they are well adapted to harsh conditions - endurance, soundness and the ability to thrive on meagre rations.
