Horse Breed Friday, on Thursday!

Well here is last week's Horse Breed Friday, a week later!  So, last week's horse is.........

                Arabian

Country of Origin: Arabia
Use today: Arabians are famed for their stamina, and although they can be found in many disciplines, they rule the long-distance sport of endurance.
Color: Arabians can be found in the following colors: chestnuts, bay, gray, black and roan.
Height: 14 to 15.3 hands

Theorized to be the oldest breed in the world, Arabians were constant companions of the first documented breeders of the Arabian horse, the Bedouin people--nomadic tribesmen of Arabia who relied on the horse for survival. High religious significance in addition to harsh climates often led the nomads to share food, water and sometimes even their tents with their horses. For many of these reasons, the Arabian horse thrived in near isolation and are known for their sociable personalities. As religious wars erupted, the Arabian horse made its way into Europe and other parts of the world. European crusaders crossed the lighter Arabian Horse with their heavier breeds, influencing nearly every modern breed today. In 1725, Nathan Harrison of Virginia was the first of many to import the Arabian horse to North America. In 1908, a national registry was recognized for the Arabian Horse. Today, more Arabian horses live in the United States than in all the other countries in the world combined. Arabians are famed for their stamina, and although they can be found in many disciplines, they rule the long-distance sport of endurance.

Well I have to go, and will try and post soon!

That's my favorite horse! And I think my favorite color for it is black.
Check out my new blog (which is the one I'm on now). It's to practice my writting.

Hello there! I understand, now, about the computer. I was just hoping I hadn't offended you all. I am glad that is not the case. ;)
