ARABIANS 



[ITCH has been said and written concerning the origin of the Arabian, and 

 while authorities differ on the subject, all the evidence submitted points 

 to the great antiquity of this important race of horses. 



The Arabs are descendants of Ishmael, who, according to tradition, 

 inherited a valuable horse of the Kuhl race. The Anezah tribe descended in a 

 direct line from Ishmael, through Sheik Salaman, who lived about 1635 B. C. 

 (four generations removed from Ishmael), and who owned five famous mares. 

 From this ancestry has come the purest and best Arabian horse blood. This 

 race was in existence many centuries before the time of Mohammed. 



There is a concensus of opinion that the blood cause for all the greatness 

 in the past as well as the present horse creations is directly traceable to the 

 Arabian. Nothing serves to prove this more than the fact that France moulded 

 her famous draft horse, the Percheron, from the pliable blood of the Arabian; 

 England, by reference to her records, shows many importations of Arabian 

 horses to create and sustain her national Thoroughbred running horse, and her 

 heavy horse, the Shire; Scotland, with her typical drafter, the Clyde, traces its 

 origin to the desert horse; Russia takes pride in referring to her Orloff trotting 

 and coach horse as of Arabian origin; while America has the Morgan, the present- 

 day Standardbred, or trotter, including the famous Kentucky saddle horse, 

 all of which exist as a result of the influence of the blood of the imported Arabian. 



As a consequence of the superior quality, endurance and general excellence 

 of the desert horses, the infusion of Arabian blood has produced horses without 

 parallel for speed and endurance in every part of the world in every age. Ara- 

 bian horses have one less vertebra than other breed's, hence their short back 

 and their ability to carry great weight. They are as wonderful in mental de- 

 velopment, courage and intelligence as they are in physical perfection and en- 

 durance. The individual is honest, cheerful, vigorous, patient, enduring, 

 fleet, handsome, graceful, kind, and last but not least, the purest in blood of 

 all the equine race.
