many fine qualities. In the limestone and bluegrass 
section of Tennessee are many American-bred Arabi¬ 
ans which are 15 hands or more in height and which 
have all the refinement of their desert-bred ancestors. 
Arabians are noted for their intelligence and cour¬ 
age, endurance, speed, and vitality. In color this 
breed is chestnut, bay, brown, or grey. Pure white 
Arabians are highly prized, but are not numerous. 
THE PALOMINO 
The Palomino is descended from the Arabian, and 
is called the Golden Horse of California. In the Spain 
of Queen Isabella’s time, white Arabians and golden 
Palominos were among the favorite horses of the roy¬ 
alty, so when the Spaniards settled California in the 
early days it was natural that they should bring with 
them these two breeds.
