One of the oldest and most beautiful breeds, its
original make-up is unknown but it appears they lived on the Arabian
Peninsula up to 3000 years BC. Possibly no other breed has exerted as
much influence on as many of today's breeds. Their desert origins mean
they are well adapted to harsh conditions - endurance, soundness and the
ability to thrive on meagre rations. |

| Height: between 14.2 and 15hh. |

curved neck, long sloping shoulder, broad chest and deep body, short
back, hard clean limbs, hard well-shaped feet, fine mane and tail. |
