The Bedouins
The original Arabian horses were bred for various purposes, depending on the specific strain of Arab (which was traced through maternal lineage). Some were bred to be smaller and have short-distance speed, while others were bred to be taller and have great endurance. One strain of Arabian was bred mostly for looks and was a more refined looking breed of Arabian. Overall though, the Arabian was bred to be an intelligent, friendly, family horse. High-end mares were actually kept in the tents with their owners in order to prevent them from being stolen during the night.
Arabian horses were first bred in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula and in north east Africa.

18, only a purebred Arabian can have 17 ribs, you can get a Arabian that maybe is 3/4 Arabian and 1/4 something else and it's possible but EXTREMELY rare that it will have 17 ribs. Trying to breed a cross-bred Arabian with 17 ribs won't get you anywhere much unless you are breeding a 3/4 Arabian.
