the Arabian is the oldest and purest breed of horse ever
Well technically the Przewalski's horse is the oldest and purest of the wild horses, in fact it's the only truly wild breed of horse in the world. However there are three real contenders for oldest and purest of the domestic horse breeds. These would be the Caspian, the Akhal-Teke, and the Arabian. Recent research however shows that the Arabian is actually a cross between the Caspian and the Akhal-Teke as it has blood markers for both of these two breeds, but Caspian and Akhal-Teke lack markers for Arabian blood. The research into this is fairly new and not well publicised and the Arabian Horse Association maintains it's belief that the Arabian is the oldest and purest breed.

A horse with a pedigree is considered a "purebred" meaning he is not of mixed heritage. The purest and oldest breed of domestic horse is the Arabian and all other breeds (including Thoroughbreds) can trace their lines back to the Arabian Horse. As new breeds are developed, different purebred breeds are crossed until the desired traits are achieved.
The Arabian horse is believed to be the purest horse breed in the world. Because the Arabian does not have any recordable (or traceable) outside influences, it is said to be a "pure" breed. The Arabian though was used to influence many, many breeds of horses including common breeds such as the Thoroughbred.
