The Arabian is indeed an old breed, it is considered the founder of all modern horse breeds. Its breeding lines were greatly revered on the European continent, and they were shipped all over to improve native breeds. As the Europeans brought horses over to the New World, most of them were of Arabian descent, spreading the blood through the Americas. So, yes, the Arabian is considered a very old, if not ancient, founding breed. The Arabian is indeed an old breed, it is considered the founder of all modern horse breeds.

Is the Arabian an old breed?

Yes they are a very old breed, they come from the deserts of arabia. Their blood is in mostly every breed of horse. They are breed for their beauty. I should know all of this, I own Arabian Horses!!!! They are the oldest breed of horse. All breeds originate from them. They were first bred by the Boudein tribe in the Arabain Peninsula, where they still are wild. They are bred not only for their beauty, but also for their stamina, speed, endurance, adn intelligence. The warriors of the tribe would ride a mare to battle, always. Thus, they were rarely for sale. To find out more, go to American Arabian Association.
