According to the legend, Allah would have created the Arab horse with a handle of wind of the south. In fact the origins of the Arab horse remains a mystery. The cradle of the Arab race thorough-bred remains a discussed point: lake Baïkal or plates of the Central Asia, Yemen or Hadramaout, in any event it comes from Asia, from where it was spread everywhere pure or métissé. The purest types come from Nadjd and were formerly marked on the face by means of a red iron in the shape of triangle.


It seems established that Babylon had breedings important and that the Pharaons of old Egypt encouraged the reproduction of selected subjects. After the fall of the Roman Empire the disappearance of ancient civilizations, the Bedouins continued the breeding of the Arab horse.


The legend wants that all the thorough-bred Arab go down directly from one of the seven mares of the Mahomet prophet: Sakb, Sabhab, El Zarib, El Lizaz, El Lâhif, El Ward, Mourtédjez. They have a gray dress, seldom bay or alezane, the dappled gray being most frequent.


The race is the result of the rigorous selection to which the Bedouins of Arabia delivered themselves, since the first centuries. As of this time, they had opened a book of the origins… Oral examination. They took care of the purity of the race, with a true fanaticism, refusing that an animal “asil” (pure) does not couple with other “asil not”. The hard existence in the desert with without any doubt contributed to make horse Arab, an animal, sober and enduring. The list of the races forged starting from Arab crossings is very long today. One can quote Connemara (pony), Haflinger (pony), the Andalusian, Criollo or it… Percheron. Since more than one century, one raises Arabic a little everywhere in the world. But the breeding of Arizona, preserve all the characteristics of the race, with its desert climate and with the vegetation close to the cradle of origin.
