Arabian horses - the gift of the Most High

In the world there are only three purebred breeds of horses: thoroughbred mount, Arab and Akhal-Teke. The concepts of "thoroughbred" and "thoroughbred" are two absolutely different in horse breeding. Purebred can be called any horse that has an immaculate origin, but purebred only one that belongs to the three above-named breeds. The Arabian breed is just like that, it does not allow the influence of any other blood. The world organization of the Arabian horse is constantly caring and monitors the preservation of the purity of the breed.

Arabian horses appeared on the Arabian Peninsula. In those days of discord and constant small and large wars, the horse required special endurance and speed. Therefore, a horse with such qualities was worth its weight in gold. These qualities were cultivated, and the owners carefully monitored the purity of the blood. For reproduction only the best representatives of the breed were selected. In addition, Arabian steeds possessed almost human intelligence. And the Bedouin nomads treated them as they did to their family members, they fed even better than the household, sheltered in their tent, cherished and cherished. It is not surprising that the Arabian breed of horses has become elite in our time: the way of its formation has been counted for many centuries and throughout the centuries, the breed has been protected from the infusion of foreign blood. At first this was done for reasons of personal safety, and then in the care of preserving the breed. Relatively recently, the Arabian breed of horses became the basis for the breeding of new breeds: English horseback, Russian horseback Lippian, Persheron, Berberian, etc.

There are different opinions about the connection of Arabian horses and Akhal-Teke people. Outwardly these Horses are very similar. Some argue that the Akhaltekeans originated from the Arabs, while others are exactly the opposite. It seems that their ancestors were all the same, considering that the paths of nomadic peoples intersected, but the formation of rocks was parallel. Distinctive features of the Arabian breed are wide nostrils, a concave profile and a "swan" neck (however, Akhalteke people also have such a neck). Its representatives have a unique structure of the skeleton: they have 1 lumbar vertebra, 1 rib and 2 caudal vertebrae less than other horses. In addition, they have a unique structure of the tail, which is raised above the lumbar region and in the run closes the rider from behind. They say that in ancient times, the Bedouins specially massaged the foals of the caudal vertebrae, so that the tail took the form of a sultan, and then fixed this feature in the breed.

The Arabs are convinced that their horse is the gift of the Most High. There is a legend according to which Allah wanted to create an animal as fast as the wind, and sent it down with the wind to the ground directly from his hands. Indeed, in running Arabian horses seem to fly over the ground, they have a very easy and smooth course. According to another legend, these horses originated from seven mares, which, despite the thirst, returned to Mohammed at his first call, while others continued the watering. Is not this the reason for their incredible devotion to people. Arabian horses were endowed with the ability to protect hosts from evil spirits. Within the breed there are several families, of which three are basic. Family kohlani dominant in quality. Also, Arabian horses can have four exteriors: siglavi, coheylan, hadban, siglavi-coheylan. The main suit is gray, but there are others - bay, red.

Long life and special fertility are another peculiarities of the Arabian breed of horses.

The Arabian horses are probably the friendliest character of all purebloods. Akhalteke people, for example, are very cautious and arrogant, do not trust strangers, and the Arabs are happy to communicate with people, they can look into their pockets in the hope that they have something tasty for them. Good get along with children, so they use them in children's competitions. In short, this is not just an expensive toy, the deciding question of prestige or money, it's a real friend.

The Arabian breed of horses is worth its weight in gold, and this is not a metaphor. Low, dry, strong, elegant, representatives of this breed can cost several million dollars. Arabian horses, photos of which clearly demonstrate their high and noble origin, the most expensive in the world.
