The Shuwayman or Chouwayman horse is not an official breed, but rather a pure strain of Arabian horse bred in Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

Origins

The origins of Arabian horses depends on who you ask. Many countries which breed prized strains of this fabulous breed claim distant ownership of their genetics. The truth is, no one really knows where they came from, but we do know that by 1500 BC they had already been domesticated by more than one tribe.
