Intro
Handsome Arabian horses have been bred in the region for a long time and Algeria has their own strain of the mighty bloodlines.
Origins
Almost any country that breeds Arabians has a rich history of horsemanship, however the actual cradle of the breed probably depends on who you ask. Beyond modern borders, the Arabian bloodlines have traditionally been bred by nomadic people, spreading their fine bloodlines wide and far.
The Algerian Arabian strains are perhaps less popular in the country than their Arabian Berber or pure Barb counterparts. However this handsome breed seems to find a group of enthusiasts in any country it graces.
