Spirited, elegant, and brimming with history, the Arabian horse has captured the hearts and imagination of horse lovers for centuries. This light horse breed is known for its endurance, presence, athleticism, and of course-its exquisite beauty.
When discussing the Arabian's gorgeous good looks, it seems logical to begin with the head. The Arabian's delicate dished head is undeniably one of its most recognizable features, accentuated by flared nostrils and large eyes. The gracefully arched neck flows into a short back, and the tail is carried expressively. Arabians display a balance of strength and elegance.
And besides being beautiful, the Arabian is brilliantly versatile. Looking for a reliable and enthusiastic trail mount? Interested in pleasure driving? How about hunters, western, or dressage? Maybe you'd like to compete in showmanship or in-hand conformation classes, or you love endurance riding. Perhaps saddle seat is your thing.
Guess what? Arabians can do all of that and then some!
But we don't have to convince you that Arabians are awesome and intelligent equines-it's easy to see the appeal. And many young riders feel the same, which is why the Arabian Horse Association (AHA) offers a wide variety of youth programs. Let's take a closer look.
