The Arabian or Arab horse (Arabic: الحصان العربي [ ħisˤaːn ʕarabiː], DMG
ḥiṣān ʿarabī) is a breed of horse that originated on the Arabian
Peninsula. With a distinctive head shape and high tail carriage, the
Arabian is one of the most easily recognizable horse breeds in the world.
It is also one of the oldest breeds, with archaeological evidence of
horses in the Middle East that resemble modern Arabians dating back 4,500
years. Throughout history, Arabian horses have spread around the world by
both war and trade, used to improve other breeds by adding speed,
refinement, endurance, and strong bone. Today, Arabian bloodlines are
found in almost every modern breed of riding horse.
