Alright, that´s no reason to get rude. To be honest, EVERY horse is beautiful. So what some don´t step as high as others or they don´t arch their neck enough? It doesn´t make them less beautiful. Besides, these horses haven´t been PS-morphed. No self-respective breeder would do that and if they´re not that "important", why would anyone modify them?
That is a completely false statement, Arabian horses do compete in Showjumping, Cross Country and barrel racing. I manage to compete on my Arabians in such events and do well, I might add. They are an extremely athletic breed. And The Australian Waler which carried men into battle during WW2, were bred from the Arabian horse. And what bad reputation? Yes, there are over 250 other breeds, but that doesn't qualify the Arabian as what you have stated them to be in your comment,not by a longshot.
Yeah, it's my opinion. That was sort of the point. Just a warning that making sweeping statements such as a breed being "the most beautiful horse" is isolating. I would never say that about any breed. Saying you believe something is ugly or beautiful is one thing; saying it as a true or false statement is another. And no, I'm DEFINITELY not an expert. However, I do know a thing or two on this subject. But what's being an expert have to do with opinions of beauty?
When bred correctly, the Arabian is a great saddle breed. They are hardy, solid, stable, and have great endurance and weight-carrying capicity. Despite this, I am probably one of a few select group of people who do not find the dished face of the Arabian attractive. In fact, I think an extremely dished face, such as the unhealthy ones seen in show Arabians, are kind of ugly. I prefer a straight face. So be careful calling Arabians "the most beautiful horse". Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Again, elegance is opinion. It's one I actually agree with you on. (Even though I'm not crazy about Arabian head shape, I like the way they move. THAT is beautiful.) But I personally think it can be found in other breeds, too. Anyway, nice talking to you. I actually like "talking horses" with people, even if it's a disagreement.
Pardon me? Am I still chatting shit? My last post was left a month ago. And it is always a wise idea to never assume. Iam a female genius. I wasn't aware that my username must mean that Iam male...Iam 34, Iam a little past juvenile fan clubs of any type. The fact of the matter is I yes own Arabians, partbreds, as well as 2 Percherons, a thoroughbred and a standardbred. Rather a mix of breeds to belong to any "fanclub".All very capable horses, breed means nothing.Yes,please.Stop wasting my time.
So the Olympics is the only level of equestrian that counts is it? Rather a snobby comment. And actually no,I never said they were the strongest, fastest blah,blah,blah...I simply corrected you,when YOU made the statement that they are no good for anything other than showing & endurance.Which is a false statement.I never stated that other breeds weren't capable or excelled at other disciplines. YOU DID.I appreciate all breeds of horses,you obviously don't.
so where was the Arabs in The olympics ? or and the top level showjumping, dressage or cross country ? or even top level barrel racing, yes your horse may of done these but at a low level, you say the arab is the strongest, fastest blah blah blah only the best breeds make it to the top the strongest and fastest make it to the top all i see arabs to is showing and Endurance at a high level and frankly all other breeds make can make Endurance and showing at a top level, Arabs are high strung
haha i said they arent any good in other ''Disciplines'' e.g Show Jumping, Cross country, Barrel racing. plus i kno but so did american quarter horses thoroughbred, irish drafts they all took us into battle and frankly bigger battles then Arabia, i didnt say i didnt like the horses but now a days they have a repreation which aint a good one, i kno not all of them are like that they can be great horses, but they arent the only pretty, strong and fastest horses there are over 250 other breeds
arabs r nice but they are the most flighty they r exellent for showing and endurance but in other disciplines they r useless they r pretty but all horses in the world a gorgerous and i dont like to pick my favorite the horse is to be respected and not to be picked they come and go and they have helped us humans for thousands of years all horses and my favourite no matter what breed, colour height
@saddlebredluver24719 Yeah, I get you. Now I insist check the Barb from Morocco, then check our horse, the Spanish purebred (still called the Andalucian by foreigners), I reckon you will fall in love with both of these. Our horse has Arab and Barb blood, Arabs and Moors conquered Spain after Romans and Goths and stayed 800 years from the 8th century to the 15th, so imagine. Good luck with your saddlebreds.
Guys this horse is simply a winner, no need to describe him. Now if I may please let me just tell you about my favourite, the Barb from North Africa. If you like the Arabian I think you will like the Barb, taller, tougher, breathtaking sheer defiance, neighing and prancing around like the mighty beast he is! Check any pages on CHEVEAUX FANTASIE(Morocco). The Godolphin Barb (sometimes misnamed Arab) was a founding sire of the thoroughbred bloodline, 1724 to 1754. Terriffic sprinters, outstanding.
Well I'm glad you said that because your comment was "i think arabians are pretty but they are stupid". I don't like to read generalizations like that, especially about such a noble creature! Many times they DO hate their job and people think they are stubborn, untrainable or stupid. I think all horses should have the job that suits them and the ones I see most, usually arabians, not just mine, seem to love their "job". And they are quite smart.
That's hilarious! I guess the "show" Arabians you've worked with represent all the Arabians in the world, right? Maybe they're just to smart for you and your methods or maybe they hate what they are doing? Come watch an endurance event, our horses are brilliant and happy, loyal, friendly and trust worthy. Ever ride miles in the dark on a winding narrow trail and not be afraid? I wouldn't do that on a stupid horse, but my Arabs? Oh yeah, baby!
I agree this is a most beautiful breed, and yes though not the oldest as I agree with horsesmylife78 it is the Akhal-Teke as a friend of mine ownes one and told me there the oldest breed. Originated in Turkmenistan, neighbors Afganistan and Iran. I wonder what ever happened to Padron. He must be around 25 or 30 now.Now that was an Arabian. Pure poetry in motion.
The oldest living breed I believe is the Przewalski (sp?) horse. I never said that there was something wrong with the Arabian breed. You might want to stop being so defensive when someone makes a legitimate comment. I was never trying to discourage anyone. I was only pointing out a fact. Good luck to you too.
Best horse I ever had was a registered Arab, but they are not they oldest breed. The Akal Teki, or Turkmen horse is where they came from. There were purebred horses in Turkmenistan when there were only camels and goats in the Arabian Peninsula.
You remind us of the love Alexander the Great had for his horse: Bucephalus - a city named by Alexander the Great after his Horse, expressing his love and fondness out of gratitude. He lived and conquered the world, of which he credits much to his beloved horse. Alexander remained ill after his most beloved horse had died and he too died a year later.
OHHH!! i love arabians!!! i want 1 SOOO bad, but my moms a sterio-typist && says that they're so headstrong that theyre dangerous!! its no fair! ...they are the most pure and beautiful breed of horse in my opinion :)
@horseluvv Just goes to show, brilliant shower but a frustrated human. I am sorry to have read your comment, makes me feel bad but I'm sure the horse can take that and lots more.

OOOh my God I don't know how to discribe my feelings when I see these horses...I have 2 horses but i am so far away from them...I miss them so much...looking for horses where I live

@FRANKYDING The music I used in this video is by an Norwegian singer called Jan Werner Danielsen. The songs are called Luna, wich is the first song and Wonder Child, wich is the second song...
I have wanted one of these horses since I was a child. They are simply the most magnificent beautiful animals that work with humans. Thanks for the video.
I did mention what music I'm using in this video.... I put a tribute to everyone who has either posted the pictures on the internet and Jan Werner in the end of the video
I agree people who are talking bad about other religions and stuff like that should be banned! Racism isn't cool at all... So I agree with you aknames :)
