Renowned for their beauty, loyalty, strength and intelligence, the Arabian horse is as much a part of Arab tradition in the UAE as the camel or falcon. Remarkable for its soulful eyes, wide, flat forehead, broad muzzle, erect ears, slender neck and flowing shining mane, the breed owes much to the discerning eye of Emirati and other Arabian horse owners who have always shown a fine appreciation of form and movement in the horse and cooperated to ensure that a purebred line was established and maintained. Today, Purebred Arabians participate in horse racing at home and abroad and are particularly suited to the sport of endurance racing where Emirati riders excel.
