Where did the Arabian Horse Migrate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Arabian horses are not wild horses, they are domestic horses. They are kept, raised and bred all over the world, including the US, Canada, Europe and Arabia of course. Arabian horses are generally more fragile animals and many prefer to live in stalls, rather than outdoor keeping, but although stalls combined with daily turnout make for a lovely home for an Arabian horse, if a horse has a large paddock with lots of room to roam, and a safe, secure run-in shelter to go in when it needs, it will do wonderfully. 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

Do Arabian horses still live wild?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Arabians can live basically anywhere. As long as they can get warmth when it gets cold, and a way of cooling when it is hot.

Arabians were originally found in the deserts of the middle east, so they are not particularly colder weather horses.

Is an Arabian horse good for dressage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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!

Why does an Arabian horse have a dished face?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Arabians naturally have always had dished faces and they weren't bred to have concave faces. It has been speculated that it helps in the position of the bridle, but no such evidence has proved the theory true.

I hope I provided the answer you were looking for!

What are some lists of behavioral adaptations of Arabian horse?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Arabians have adapted the ability ( or more accurately had these things bred into them by their human breeders.) to go fairly long periods of time without food, and to utilize poorer quality feeds. They developed large lungs to help aid in their endurance abilities and shorter more stocky bodies help them to balance and move better through the heavy desert sands. There are other adaptions, but these are the most common.

An Arabian horse doesn't have a special habitat, it is a versatile breed of horse that can be used as any other horse would be used, and its living conditions would depend on where it lived and who cared for it. Arabian horses originated in the desert.

Some say they are from the tip of the Arabian Peninsula, others disagree. They can adapt to almost any habitat, as they are a hardy breed, that was bred for their speed, stamina, and hardiness.

How far can Arabian horses run?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the horse. Arabians are known for their extreme stamina. They can go for many miles without tiring. One of the longest endurance races is 100 miles, and I am 99% sure that all the participants were Arabian horses. They can literally, go forever (My'n did two gaming shows in one day.. a lot of galloping, and was still eager to go, and not tired at all by the end of the day)

What parts should i replace no spark on a 1990 Oldsmobile 98?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You shouldn't replace anything until you've checked out the diagnostic codes. Find out what the computer has detected. Then start going through to isolate the problem. If you just replace a bunch of parts, I can almost guarantee that something will get connected wrong then you'll NEVER be able to find the problem.

How much money does the average vet earn a year?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

About $60 to $80K a year.

Answer$60,000-$80,000 is a lot i guess but the vet i got to has on average 200 people a day charging $23 just for a doctors vist. You do the math. AnswerThe Vet has eight years of school, a full staff, all the equipment, and a building that has to be paid for. The average income is also somewhat lower than 60 to 80k. For the eudcation and service it is most likely the best value in a Dr. vist you will get! (and still see the Dr.)
According to 2013 numbers the average salary for a veterinarian in United States is $80,000 to $85,000/year.

Obviously, the salary will vary and be much higher with experience (years in practice), location (veterinarians in large cities earn more), education (board certified specialists will earn more), and practice ownership (practice owners/partners will earn more).

A horse is moving a constant speed of 8ms is the horse accelerating?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A constant speed means that the horse is neither accelerating nor decelearating Speed is a scalar which means it has a magnitude but no direction, while acceleration is a vector so it has both a magnitude and a direction. As the magnitude of the speed remains constant, the speed is constant but since the direction the horse travels in changes that horse is in fact accelerating.
