What is the Arab horse of the desert?

Answer 1

It is unclear what the question is talking about.

If it is asking what the "true horse of Arabia" is, then there is a debate. The Arabian is generally considered the oldest known purebred breed and comes from the desert. Others consider the Caspian horse to be the oldest desert horse, some even calling it the 'missing link' of equids. The debate which (if either) is right, is ongoing.

If it is asking what did Arabs use in place of a horse in the desert, the answer is that they used the camel.

Answer 2

Intelligent, high spirited, and good tempered. However, their intelligence also allows them to learn bad habits as quickly as good ones, and they do not tolerate inept or abusive training practices. Some sources claim that it is more difficult to train a "hot-blooded" horse. However, most Arabians have a natural tendency to cooperate with humans, but when treated badly, like any horse, they can become excessively nervous or anxious, though seldom become vicious unless seriously spoiled or subjected to extreme abuse. At the other end of the spectrum, romantic myths are sometimes told about Arabian horses that give them near-divine characteristics.

Answer 3

While their behavior varies from horse to horse, but in general they are willing, kind and loving but will not tolerate rough handling and roungh riding, they will fight back if need be.

Arabian horses are known as a "hot-blooded" horses, that is, a horse that is more free-spirited than other breeds of horses. They are known to be energetic and often have a "mind of their own". For the most part, you cannot boss Arabs around, but rather have to learn to work with them. Arabs are a bit of a free spirit and are not easily dominated, but if you earn their trust, they will stay by your side forever. Many early Arabians were actually allowed to sleep in the tents of their owners to make sure that they were not stolen during the night!

Answer 4

The Arabian horse is known for being "hot-blooded," which is just another way of saying that they can be spirited.

Just like any breed of horse, there are two ends of the behavior scale. There are very sane, bombproof Arabians, but there are also Arabians that flip out at the lightest touch.

Arabian horses though are known for being very intelligent and willing to please -- which usually makes them easy to train. If you go to an Arab show, many of them will seem very high-strung, but often times, they are trained to be this way because that is what the judges are looking for.

Answer 5

Arabian horses themselves do not have rituals.
