These breeds were and are used and trained for three gaits; trot, canter and walk. But for perfection, the Arabians are trained for five gaits which are used for safe and fast rides but the rider should be in light harness.
In , the first book for studs was published and in the same year the first Arabian Horse Club of America was made. This club and book were recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture which established the club as a national registry for the purebred only. At that time there were only 72 Arabian horses registered in the associations record.
Now there are many Arabian horses living in the United Stated as compared to other countries. This fact is the most interesting one; Arabian horses were used in U. Army, yes, you can read that line again! There were only Arabians in the country and the U. With so less horses it was not an easy task to represent such breed in the endurance race, in this way Arabs were superior by taking all the winning prizes. Brown won the first place after many years on his purebred Arabian mare named RAMLA and its number was and it carried pounds.
The second Cavalry Endurance Ride was held in and this time the U. Army wanted the Arabians to carry pounds and they were trained 6 times a week and had to train 10 hours each. According to Mr. Harris also wrote a letter which says, with two endurance ride to the credit of Arabian Horses in and , the U.
Remount, and incidentally the Jockey Club, felt something had to be done to beat these little horses in the next ride. In spite of all effort, again the winner was Mr. Brown in race and the army then realized the value of Arabians and that year they purchased and continued purchasing and by the year there were horses registered in the U. The Army also started a breeding program for the Arabians.

Evanno, G. The shield-like bulge between the eyes, the jibbah, is said to allow for greater brain capacity. An arched neck keeps the windpipe defined and clear to carry air to the lungs. A shorter, stronger back allows Arabians to carry substantial weight in comfort. The Arabian has plenty of room for lung expansion because of well-sprung ribs and a deep chest cavity. His strong, resilient legs with dense, compact bones are free of most lameness problems, and his lighter muscling readily dissipates heat and lactic acid.
Arabian horses were bred to perform under harsh desert conditions and keep going beyond the point of exhaustion. This has given the breed incredible stamina and courage.
The Arabian horse is also recognized as being intelligent and easy to train. Centuries of close interaction with people has given the Arabian an innate ability to bond with humans, as well as a friendly, loyal disposition, marked by a desire to please.
Arabians possess a long memory, quick comprehension, alert curiosity, resourcefulness, and sociability. They consistently outlive other breeds reaching their prime at 20, with many living well past The American Endurance Ride Conference estimates that well over 70 percent of their members ride Arabian horses exclusively.
This number is estimated to be closer to 90 percent when part-Arabian horses are considered. The breed is also well suited for showing in both western and English disciplines and excels in events that use its agility and athleticism. Arabian racing on the track is becoming more and more popular. The price tag on an Arabian horse today is competitive with other breeds and, like any breed, reflects pedigree, training, appearance, and experience.
With more than shows and distance riding competitions annually, many opportunities are available for youth, amateur, and open riders and Arabian horses. Riders can also earn awards for recreationally riding. In the Arabian stallion Bairactar was imported to a duchy that is now part of Germany and he became the founding father of the sport horse world of today.
Until today sport horses and ponies for children to ride have been influenced by Arabian blood. One of the legends in their books is the Darley Arabian that DNA studies found to be — via racing hero Eclipse — the ancestor of 95 per cent of all thoroughbreds living today.
The Alcock Arabian brought the grey colour into English Thoroughbreds. Following the royal start-up Europe became a focus for Arabian breeding in various state studs. At a Janow Podlasky auction customers paid 1,3 million euro for a mare already 13 years old.
Therefore it is very likely that she still was a good investment for the new owners. Following economic changes the angle has shifted back again towards Arabia.
