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.
