The Breed Characteristics of the Arabian Horse
Part 2: Styles and Versatility
By Christie Metz
There is something so magical and beautiful about Arabian horses, people can’t help but fall in love with the breed – instantly. The power of the Arabian horse to reach us by touching our hearts is impactful and inspirational. Some people walk away from their first experience with a joyful smile and others want the magic they feel to never end. Such is the power of the Arabian horse, a mythical creature that forever captivates our hearts. Sometimes I am amazed that more than 25 years have passed since I first became involved with Arabians and yet, I am still under its spell.
The first article in this series I wrote was, “Arabian Characteristics, Type & Quality.” This article, “Arabian Characteristics, Part 2: Styles and Versatility,” will continue the exploration of Arabian Characteristics and will focus on the many different body “Styles” of Arabian horses, how they evolved and how they shape our breed today.
