The Arabian horse developed along the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers in what we know today as Iran, Iraq and Syria. The Islamic people claimed the Arabian was gift from Allah and essentially worshipped it. In the past, this Arabian horse breed was primarily used as an instrument of war. These Arabian horses have speed, endurance and great courage, which was essential for warring. Today, the Arabian horse is superb in the show ring, endurance events and on the trail.
