Some people believe that the Arabian horse is the most beautiful breed in the world and want to try and make other breeds look like the Arabian. With some breeds such as the Miniature horse, Pintabian, Morab, Quarab, and other Arabian based breeds it's not such a bad thing as the Offspring are often supposed to reflect a high degree of Arabian blood, but in other breeds it takes away from true type and causes confusion of what the breed was originally supposed to look like. In instances where the breed is not supposed to look like an Arabian it is best to discourage breeders from attempting to make the breed look like something it is not as it causes a lose of type and genetic diversity.
That is actually a myth. Arabians have the same number of bones as all other breeds of horses. What made people first believe that Arab horses had fewer bones was that some of the bones in the Arabian were fused together making it look like one less bone. But that can happen in any and all horse breeds and is not exclusive to the Arabian.
The most popular Arabian horse will vary from person to person as it is a individual persons opinion on which horse they like the most.
No, the scientific name for the Arabian horse remains the same throughout its life. The Arabian horse is known as Equus ferus caballus.
The Arabian horse is just like any horse and likes the same things. of course every individual horse is different and what they don't like and do varies, somethings that the horse would like are as followed...companionship,toys (some horses like to play with toys such as balls), the occassional treat, clean environment, exercise (especially the Arabian for they can be very "hot" horse) and routine all horses like to have a sense of routine.
The modern Appaloosa has been bred to look like a stock horse (Quarterhorse) and perform like a Quarterhorse or Paint racing horse in general. For that reason, they may be faster than an Arabian for 4 furlongs however the Arabian can out perform most modern stock horses at longer distances. The original Appaloosa horse was a stamina horse, however, it would be difficult to assess whether they could beat an Arabian.
In the wild they do that when facing off against another horse, it is a sign for a challenge. If your horse does that when you are training him or trying to catch him it means they are mad at you or are making fun of you, like saying "hahaha! i win!"
You would call her a mare like any other female horse.
An Arabian is a breed of horse but it was the first breed of horse every horse has a little bit of Arabian in it so if you say that Secretariat was a FULL throughbred that would be wrong he would have a little bit of Arabian in him
The Arabian is the most favored horse breed. A survey proves this as fact. This does not mean that the Arabian is the best breed-it just means the greatest percentage of people like Arabians. Please see the related link below for more information:
Yes they do like all other breeds of horses...
Something quiet, like a Quarter Horse. Nothing like a high-strung Arabian or Thoroughbred.
Feeding an Arabian is no different than feeding any other breed of horse. They all require hay or grass as the foundation of their diet and may need grain or pellets if they are in moderate or heavier work.
