The Arab thoroughbred horse ... This phrase already for a century excites the human mind. Someone wants at all costs to buy an Arabian horse, someone will consider it a blessing to just look at this miracle of nature, even from afar. In the world there are about one hundred and fifty breeds of horses, and only three of them are valued, like a diamond of pure water, high and unconditionally. At the highest level of the "podium of honor" is rightly located the Arabian horse, after it the Akhal-Teke and the English horse.
If you happen to see what an Arab thoroughbred horse is in an arena, you will be fascinated by the light movements of a magnificent animal, the swift motion of the tooted legs, the raised tail waving high and the ineffable grace of the curved neck. The perfection of the exterior of the Arabian steed is amazing. The horse is constantly in some unrestrained dance, small hoofs easily cross, and the whole creature of the Arabian horse breathes the nobility that it inherited from nature.
The history of the Arabian horse dates back to about the fourth century BC, and the forefathers of the modern Arabian horse were bred in the 5th-6th century after the birth of Christ. The hosts and "breeders" were the Arabs who lived on the Arabian Peninsula. The nomadic way of life of the Bedouins, constant wars and raids, demanded a special horse, hardy and unpretentious, of short stature and at the same time fast, capable of walking a considerable distance.
So the Arabian horse appeared, light and quick. The Arabs were not sophisticated breeders, but the breeding of the purebred horse immediately followed the right path and the results were impressive. Over time, the Arabian breed of horses was divided into four branches, each of which corresponded to certain qualities. For example, coheilan - it's strong, muscular horses, hardy and capable of long leaps. Koheilan-siglavi is an Arabian horse, already more elegant, but also massive and sturdy. Hadban - a large horse, sports warehouse. And syglava - these Arabian horses had elegant, elegant appearance and were well suited for festive events.
Arab Bedouins zealously treated their horses, never sold them, did not exchange. Arab horses were kept in the hall, they were taken care of, well-fed and considered to be a national treasure. For a combination of all these reasons, Arabian horses appeared in Europe and America very soon. Europe saw purebloods only when the crusades began . And immediately the Arabian breed began to improve the Russian horses with great success. And sometimes an Arabian horse gave birth to a new breed, such as the Oryol trotter and the Russian horse.
In fact, all significant breeding in the breeding of new breeds of horses took place with the mandatory participation of the purebred Arabian. Even the famous English horseback is brought out with the help of an Arabian horse and an Akhal-Teke, who is also of a very ancient kind. However, some qualities of the purebred Arabian horse remained with him, despite the multistage selection processes. For example, the characteristic concavity of the nose of the head was not inherited by new breeds. A high-pitched tail also remained a sign of the Arabian steed. Also remained flat flat straight croup and high neck. Such a phenomenon of nature as a thoroughbred Arabian horse, the photo of which you can see here, is unique.
