“Thousands of years of natural selection through survival of the fittest, combined with human selection for intelligence, courageous but kindly disposition, utilitarian beauty and function did not change Arabian horse type. Utilitarian beauty includes the size and location of the eyes, large forehead, large nostrils and windpipe with substantial width between deep jaws, well-sprung ribs, short back and strong loins, fine bone with pronounced tendons and overall balance.
An alert, friendly, trusting disposition with notable intelligence are Arabian hallmarks, not be overlooked.”
