What breed was George Washington's horse Nelson?
My research has indicated that "Nelson" was a pure-bred Arabian. A breed known for its endurance, strength, and intelligence. The Arabian Stallion "Mustafa al Zarina" of Somerset Park Arabian Farm has been noted as an "extreemely accurate look-a-like of President Washington's favorite horse." I have found a website for that breeding farm: somersetparkarabians.com . They have many pictures of this horse as well as others. I found it interesting and informative on the breed, and horses in general.
