Thousands of years ago, a very special breed of horse lived in the deserts of the Middle East. This horse stood by the Bedouin fires at night and carried riders through the arid landscape by day. They were the most treasured possessions of these ancient nomads. This very special horse, developed in the harsh landscape of the Middle Eastern desert, went on to become the most influential breed in human history. Cherished by warriors and noblemen alike, the Arabian horse not only survived through the centuries, but thrived.
