DESERT BRED ARABIAN STUD
Bedouin Inspired Arabian Horses
About the Breed
To understand and fully appreciate the Desert Bred Arabian Horse, one must know his master, the Bedouin. A primitive nomadic tribesman, the Bedouin was a feared warrior of the desert who crisscrossed the Arabian peninsula partaking in "ghazus" or raids and surviving on whatever lean substance the desert had to offer. His dependence on horses and camels for mobility was a major decision making factor.
More importantly, the use of his horse as a distinct tactical fighting weapon led him to concentrate on its reproduction and it was from this awareness that the Bedouin became an
astute student of the lessons of inbreeding, line breeding, the influence of the mare line and the selection of breeding stock based on an almost fanatical quest for purity and performance. These principals adhered to, the Bedouin was then assured of producing the superior equine weapon upon which he could depend regardless of how difficult the circumstances. The feats of courage and endurance performed by the Arab and his horse became legendary, and the desert-forged excellence of his mount won him worldwide respect as a horseman and breeder of the finest horseflesh available. In an age when cavalry conquered nations,the Bedouin remained unconquerable largely because of the superiority of the Desert Bred Arabian Horse.
