The black Arabian stallion dances across the paddock, unaware of the gray gelding that stands old and unwanted in the pasture beside him. The black man waves his flamboyant silky tail and lunges, startled by a shiny black Lexus. He runs indirectly towards the white wooden fence that separates him and the old gelding. Throw your nose to the wind; his nostrils flare and he smells the other horse. He whinnies, beckoning, but the old horse merely cocks an ear in his direction, oblivious to the pounding of hooves just ten feet away. The black man turns, wondering and marveling at the old horse, but a white bag scares him, and he spooks in the wind, the sun dancing on his satin coat and flying mane, giving him the name Ghost of the Desert. The Arabian is one of the most versatile horse breeds in the world. Its bloodlines are present in most horse breeds found today. The Arabian was first bred by the Bedouin to be a desert horse. Necessary for endurance, its thin legs and fine fur were perfect for the harsh desert sands. Soon other people began to notice the breed and the Arabian became the most popular horse breed. In addition to the Arabian's adaptability, it is an extremely athletic and sensitive breed. Breeders are not just focusing on halter and western horses, they are trying to breed Arabians for athleticism. “In the mid-1900s French trotters, Arabian Thoroughbreds and Anglo-Arabs were used to develop the Selle Francais breed. This horse excels in show jumping and eventing. He bravely tackles difficult cross-country fences and is good at dressage” (Ransford, 39). Alongside the Arabian's fantastic character and athleticism, they have a slightly different makeup in their conformation. Smaller than…half the paper…half Arabic and Arabic. Through adversaries and changes, the Arabian horse has still triumphed. It has overcome the ignorant population, dishonest breeders, their enormous beauty and even tax shelters. They are the founders of other breeds and improve those in which they are bred. This leads to the only conclusion: the Arabian horse is truly the most versatile, intelligent and essential breed in the world. The black stallion turns again, marveling once again at the little gray gelding standing in the shade of the tree. That was the ideal Arab, but sometimes renegades like black came along. Breeders never knew what to do with those species. They are truly great icons of the Arabian horse, but they tarnish the breed. The breeders; However, know that horses like Black should never be underestimated, and neither should breeders like them.
