yes it is very crul to do aswell
I'm not sure where you got your information. I suppose there could be some "burning" done by some idiot somewhere, but I doubt there are very many judges that would place a horse with scar tissue on there eyes!
I have Arabians and have been showing in Halter, the special grooming along with the breeds naturally larger eyes, creates the allusion of huge eyes. The orbits of the eyes are clipped with a size 30 or 40 blade, then using shaving cream and a regular razor is CAREFULLY used to shave the hair off the area above the eye. The shaving cream is them washed off. Once dry, the face is made shiny by applying special oil to accentuate the beautiful chiseled heads of the Arabian Horse.
My horses enjoy the attention and grooming required for show. I assure you I have never heard of our beloved breed having there eyes "burned". Hope this helps.
"Al" is Arabic for "The", and it is used often in the name of Arabian horses.[1]
Horses have a hoof, not a split hoof like a cow but a one solid hoof instead of paws.
The area of the horse's mane behind their ears is called the bridle path. It is shaved on horses with thick manes, like Morgan horses to let the bridle or halter lie flat, and to show off the curve of the horse's poll.
Most horses live for between 18 and 25 years. Horses that are exercised hard and strained when they are young often wear and die faster, around age 13 or 14. This is only likely to be the case with an Arabian if it was raised in Arabia or parts of Africa where horses are ridden and raced as yearlings. Horses will live longer if they are well cared for and given good nutrition.
Horses living into their 40's is not unusual. Our Arabian mare lived to be 43.
The formation of an Arabian horses skull can cause the teeth to not fit properly. This is however only observed in Halter horses and bloodlines with extremely 'typey' heads. The jaw becomes too short and compacted and the teeth do not fit, develop, wear, or erupt properly. The best way to prevent this is to stop breeding for extreme head types in halter horses.
The bit goes on the bridle, not the halter.
Arabian horses first originated on the Arabian Peninsula.

Yes, but be aware that the other horses will likely bite or pull on the halter - which is why most people take them off when turning out their horses.
The population of the Arabian horses living in the Arabian desert is currently unknown.
The way the horses face is clipped can cause the eye to look a little bigger. Also using vaseline or baby oil around the eye helps.
There is no halter breaking on Howrse.com. This is not something that you do with your horses on the game.
Arabian horses were first bred in the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula and in north east Africa.
