Arabian horses do not migrate.

How many different colors of Arabian horses are there?

Arabian horses are themselves the breed.

There are at least four main national breeding programs (types): Egyptian, Russian, Polish, and Spanish. When the herds in Saudi Arabia were dispersed due to war (war booty), several people, seeing the value of protecting the breed, stepped in to take the horses to their countries/land. Each country bred for something specific, utilizing specific blood lines to accomplish this. Because of this relatively closed breeding practice, each sector or region acquired slightly different characteristics. Horses with this breeding are known by the name of the country from which their pedigree originates ie. Russian Arabian, Polish Arabian, etc.

Another well known program is Crabbett, named for the family who imported the horses that were the basis of the type.

When these types are intermingled into a horse's pedigree, it is referred to as "Domestic" bred.

It is believed that Straight Egyptian Arabians are the closest to the true breeding of the original Arabian horse of the Bedouin tribes and can be traced directly by pedigree to Egyptian pharoahs. There are five main strains of straight egyptian breeding that descend directly in maternal lineage to five famous war mares. Each strain is named for the mare that began the strain, and has specific predominate characteristics:

  • Hadban
  • Abeyyan
  • Kuhailan
  • Saglawi
  • Dahman

There are organizations for Arabian horses that help to preserve specific bloodlines. Horses may be referred to by these names. Examples of these are:

  • Al Khamsa
  • Blue List
  • Asil
  • Sheykh Obeyd

Is an Arabian horse good for dressage?

Even though Arabians are mostly connected with endurance races and the show industry, it is a very versatile horse and can be used for almost any equestrian practice. That said, if you are thinking about roping steers and cattle, it really would depend on what kind of Arab you have in mind. Arabians are not cattle horses like the Quarter Horse for instance. If your Arab is light, the answer is no, if your Arab is a large stocky animal (like the Anglo-Arab) it will have a better chance against another animal. For barrel racing I would definitely say yes, as I have a very game little Arab who is quite nimble and quick on her feet!

Yes you Arab are great little barrel horses!

There are other adaptions, but these are the most common.
