The High Intelligence Possessed By Arabian Horses
The high intelligence possessed by Arabian horses – coupled with their ability to bond with their owners – contributes to the breed’s ability to be trained for performance within the dressage ring, during a jump course and during a number of cutting and reigning activities. Similarly, the breed is often trained for racing, particularly for endurance events.
From trail to track, from professional riders to families with children, from the Middle East to Europe and North America, it seems as though there is a common fondness for Arabian horses that is easy to understand. The desire to care for the breed has roots that go back to the early days of Islam, when the prophet Mohammed instructed his followers to be kind to the breed – particularly to the mares that pass down the genetics of the breed – with promises of a great reward to follow.
