Today most breeds owe some of their genetics to the Arabian horse. The beautiful and mighty Arabian is among the fountainheads of the World’s horse breeds. Displaying one of the most well-recognized profiles in the horse world, the Arabian’s physical loveliness is complimented by a hardy spirit and adaptable nature.

The breed is so old that its actual origin is unknown, and the Moroccan strain is no different. Based on evidence, there are several theories. They may have originated as wild equines in Syria, Southern Turkey and Iraq, along the northern edge of the Fertile Crescent. Another theory suggests that they came from the Southwestern part of Arabia sometime around 2500 BC – where they have since been bred for thousands of years as war mounts. <\/p>\n
There are pure Arabian strains found in many countries, each one adapting over time to local climate, use and food. <\/p>\n
