by Ellie Smith Content Writer

Arabian Horses are among the oldest breeds in the world, with a history that spans over 4,500 years. They sport a distinctive appearance and are among the most well-known breeds. The most prominent physical traits include their dished face, high-set tails, and "unparalleled beauty"--quite evident in the manner in which this breed has been depicted in art over the years.

Arabian horses are typically 25-30 years. While this is in line with the average horse population, there are instances documented where Arabian horses live into their 40s. The species is called "the Arabian horse" because of its longer life than the average.

Although many aspects affect the horse's life span The most significant are nutrition, genetics, the amount of exercise as well as veterinary treatment. Some luck isn't bad either!


Arabian Horse Characteristics


Arabian horses sport an elongated face, a short back, and a high-set tail. Although they are the first "hot-blooded" breed of horse They tend to exhibit an easier-going disposition than the other types in this category. Arabians are well-known for their endurance, which makes them top contenders in endurance races. They also excel at versatility occasions.

Although being on their smaller end (14.1-15.1 hours) They are known as being strong (with excellent bone density) and robust for their size.

Breeds of Arabian Horses


Egyptian


Straight Egyptian Arabians are renowned for their purity. Straight Egyptian Arabian is known for its pure bloodlines, an unbroken line that runs from the present all the way back to Bedouin tribes of in the deserts of Arabia. Only horses that have proven lineage can be classified as Straight Egyptian.

There are several governing bodies that oversee this particular subset of the Arabian breed. It is the government that Egypt established The Egyptian Agricultural Organization to ensure the survival of the breed as they believe it is an asset of the nation. Its Pyramid Society is another group established to protect, preserve and help promote the Egyptian Arabian and considers themselves as "guardians of the breed." The Arabians of Egypt are bred to be elegant and smart with great endurance.

Crabbet


Lady Anne Blunt, of England, was captivated by her beloved Arabian horse. She and her husband Wilfrid brought the finest Egyptian Arabians of the highest quality for their ranch located in Crabbet Park. Lady Anne took on the Bedouin habit of keeping only horses with the finest pedigrees.


The Blunts began creating Arabians in 1878, however, they split in the year 1906. Wilfred transferred his Stud to Newbuildings and Lady Anne was with him at Crabbet Park, until she moved to Egypt (where the Blunts had started a stud called Sheykh Obeyd). Lady Anne passed away in 1917, which triggered the escalating feud between Wilfred with his sister Lady Wentworth.

Following a court case, Lady Wentworth began to create"super horses. "super horses."

Crabbet Arabians were bred until 2001, after which a road was constructed through the farm and they were legally sold. Crabbet Arabians are renowned for their strength and are well-behaved. They might not be the prettiest Arabians however they're functional and have made a lasting influence on the majority of modern breeding programs around the world.

Domestic


Arabian horses that are bred in the United States are referred to as "Domestic." The first significant export of Arabian horses took place in 1893, at the Chicago World's Fair. The Turkish government brought in 45 horses that were auctioned off in 1894.


In the beginning Stud farms were situated on the East Coast and in the Midwest However, eventually, California was transformed into an important "hub" for the domestic Arabian.

The Arabian Horse Registry of America was established in 1908. The American-bred Arabian horses have been heavily inspired by the Crabbet Arabians with an increase in Polish or Egyptian Arabians during the 1960s. Domestic Arabians are not just beautiful to look at, they are practical and are often trained in a variety of activities, including endurance jumps, polo, and jumping.

Russian


Rich Russian nobles were enthralled by the purebred Arabian breed and gained them through both political and financial methods, and even the war. While the breed was first documented in Russia in the 17th century, formal purebred breeding did not begin until the latter part of the 19th century.


Unfortunately, it was the Russian Revolution resulted in most purebred Arabians being murdered and records being lost.

A breeding farm that was controlled by the state, Tersk, was established in 1921. The farm was established in 1930. changed to concentrate on Arabians. The ability to compete was the top priority for Russian Arabians since racing was a popular activity. In later times, Crabbet Arabians would be imported to add a bit of elegance to the athletic qualities of the horses that were already in use. The war in Poland resulted in a number of Pole Arabians having to be "rescued" (also referred to as "taken") and brought to the Russian farm in Tersk.

 

Polish

The evolution of the Polish Arabian is closely linked to the war. The most sought-after war prize included that of the Middle Eastern and Asian rival's horses, the Arabian. Purebred Arabians in Poland have been around since the 16th century. But, WWI almost destroyed breeding which left just seven fillies and 27 mares. The Poles created The Arabian Horse Breeding Society in 1926 and published their first book on studs in 1932.

WWII was more destructive and scattered Polish Arabians around the world.

Polish Arabians can be simplified into two sub-sects: the "Seglawi," known for their beauty and beauty, as well as"Kuhailan," a sub-sect known as "Kuhailan," known for their athleticism. Seglawi tends to be gray, whereas Kuhailans tend to be bay. Polish Arabians are rated on the track. Horses who do well are passed and accepted for breeding, whereas those that fail are sold. Polish Arabians are available for export one time per year during an annual auction.

Spanish

Horses have been a vital element of the Iberian Peninsula for almost six millennia. Muslims came to the peninsula in 711 AD and brought the Arabian impact to the current horse breed. Then"The "State" took over equine breeding. Horses were regarded as tools of war, and breeding was a part of the Department of Defense.

The First Spanish Registry and Stud-Book were created around 1847 under the reign of Queen Isabel II. It is the oldest existent registry of Arabians.

The first imports were utilized to enhance the Iberian Warhorse and upgrade the general horse breed. Breeding purebred Arabians began to become a priority in the early 1900s. As of 2006, there were more than 13,000 officially registered Arabians throughout Spain.
