Arabian horses: beauty and courage in form of a horse

Arabian horses have been part of human history for centuries, especially in oriental culture. But their influence is also very high on western horses due to breeding programs where Arabian stallions were used to refine the breed. In the new episode of RIDE we are visiting breeders of Arabian horses in Kuwait where the breed is really popular. Learn more about the horses' history over the centuries and what makes the breed so special.

I have owned a Arabian for the past 8 years they truly are amazing horses

[@lindamathews5013]

My favorite breed since I was a child. I was fortunate to get a grey mare who was retired from Cal Poly Pomona's riding program for children. Beautiful and sweet beyond belief. Her training and manners were superb. Such outstanding horses

[@nozee77]

That is so interesting! I have been visiting the Arabian Horse Library at Cal Poly and loved it! So educational! Is your mare descending of the Kellogg breeding program?

[@lindamathews5013]

@@nozee77 Yes, she was born and raised at Cal Poly. She is retired but was in the Rose Parade while at Cal Poly.

I’ve got an Arab, he is very loyal, we are working on building his courage. He has beautiful movement,I could watch him all day x

I love Arabians. They are fearless, strong, fast and intelligent. I've ridden many horse breeds and Arabians are the ones that challenge me the most and make me a better rider.

I love my Arabian. He’s such a wonderful horse.

Arabians are such beautiful horses! I especially love the white ones. This was an excellent video.

[@bezoticallyyours83]

I love blacks and bays.

[@CryMeARiver63]

They Arabians you are seeing in video are not actually white they are grey . They may look white but in reality they are not . A true Arabian only comes in the coat colors purebred horses with the coat colors bay, gray, chestnut, black, and roan. Black coat being the least found.

I love Arabian horses soooooo much

[@huzefa2727]

Arabian horses and their beauty truly is captivating. Inshallah, I wish of owning an Arabian horse comes true one day. It's also wonderful that i have an Indian Marwari breed horse currently

[@Kungfusue]

My favourite breed of horse. I love the Arabian. My first horse I owned was an Arab, named Desert Sands, I called him Sam. I used him in Endurance riding, he was very good at this. I had many people who wanted to buy him. He was very nice natured with good manners. The horses in this video are stunning. I enjoyed this small documentary on the Arab. 🙏

[@mmca7288]

To know love, loyalty, friendship, an unbreakable bond and trust is to own an Arabian horse ❤😍❤😍❤😍 xoxo

Well said👍👍

[@paulacurran3091]

This is such a regal breed. One of my favourites. The description and narrative was very informative.

I had an Arabian cross Irish Hunter; what a combo - beauty, speed and could jump like a deer.

[@elizabeth7862]

Just awesome 🐎, love to ride them very much Thanks FEI for that informative video

One of my favorite breeds. I've ridden 3, and a part bred. So gorgeous and sassy.

Арабські коні це насправді граціозні та красиві тварини Вони виглядають завжди по справжньому благородно та прекрасно Я дуже люблю коней і особливо мені подобаються Арабські коні

[@lizroberts1569]

I have a Arabian x Hanoverian who is beautiful but also full of character. I’d like to see them more involved in the sport side

[@sun1one1]

The Arabs bred for endurance are healthier AND prettier IMO. Animals need real jobs - the ones bred for "showing" always end up demented-looking.

[@murphyshsu]

I agree. Physical tests that include trainability and soundness when in real work are much more important measures.

[@paillette2010]

The saddest thing is to see how this breed has devolved in the last 80 years. From a horse that improved other breeds, we are left with a malformed head, no bone, and a show ring driven standard. A tragedy.

[@mmca7288]

Sadly that is happening as they're trying to breed in the dishiest head and not understanding the consequences of those actions on the health of the horse. Arabian are beautiful the way they were many years ago and I just don't know why people can't accept that as they didn't need to have their breeding interfered with xo

[@murphyshsu]

I agree. Longterm soundness when in real work (under saddle or in harness- NOT IN HAND) is so important.

[@mmca7288]

@@murphyshsu I was lucky enough to have a beautiful Mustafa foal that I trained as an eventer, and because of the shape of their mouths basically the roof of it is lower, so he was always worked in a bit that didn't have a single jointed, it had to be a double jointed bit, and yes he liked to play with the bit while standing idle for a bit of fun. If a single jointed bit was in his mouth the head tossing would start, showing signs of not being happy with it and it was changed immediately. There is scientific evidence done on this showing that a single jointed bit especially with a horse who had an active mouth that the bit would nutcracker on his tongue in his mouth and hit the roof of his mouth as well. I was taught the old style English dressage and everything else and wasn't on my horses mouth anyway. But I don't know with the changing of things how and actually bit would go in a head so dishy and a mouth so small and what effect it would have! A picture that I looked at of An Arabian looked more like a seahorse's head, granted yes it was a foal but I'd never come across something that looked that way and just thought that this has gone way too far......someone actually left a comment saying it looked deformed!!!! They are naturally beautiful looking horses in the first place and why can't humans just be happy with that?!?!?! So yes it makes me wonder about the comment u put in and where it's all going to end up stopping...... xo

[@halfarabiansandminis197]

There are still tons of Arabians bred for performance. Mostly in sport horse and working western.

[@mmca7288]

@@halfarabiansandminis197 lucky there are the ones that aren't just bred for led classes as they make great sport horse's and I had noticed that they were also doing western riding and I've come across one's doing harness too. And I think that is so great that people are realising that they're a very versatile eye catching horse 💖 and this is the reason why I'm not a supporter of the other type of breeding that's happening, and it's people like yourself that are keeping the original Arabs going 😍😀

[@yeettherat69420]

So sad how people think that they are pretty. Their features have become almost cartoonish, and while they say is helps them, it truly doesnt. Some traditions NEED to be stopped

[@murphyshsu]

I agree trainability and soundness while in real work should play a much larger role.

[@vamppanic]

it has been proven that their appearance has barely changed from 1000s of years ago when they originated and even then in cases where their features are more extreme it does not negatively affect them or their ability to function optimally.

Wow sub7anaLlah. Look at Allah's plan ! From a video game tgat includes horses to a video about arabian horses' origins to the biography of the prophet Mu7ammad 3sws because it was included in the origin of the Arabian horse and then to islam ! Allahu akbar indeed. I invite you to sincere research of islam my fellow cowboy. If you are truthful to yourself, then i can provide you with information that may help you make your choice.

You are completely wrong. Because Arabian horses where breaded in Iran . Arabics came to Iran by camels they didn't have horse .pls serch

[@user-em5bp6zk3t]

[@Majedalpha]

Completely wrong where did you git this information from your mother i think It indicates our civilization and our pride in our horses since the time of our noble Messenger, our empire and our horses. Their blood is pure Arabic, not like other horses

[@lastestevents1560]

The Arabs were famous in the past, before Islam, for their horsemen and horsemanship, and they were proud of their horses and wrote poetry and poems for them. After Islam, the Arabs invaded Iran with the Arabian horses that were created in the Arabian Peninsula. Iranian horses are very different from the Arabian horses. With all due respect to you, you do not know anything about horses.
