The famously hardy Arabian horse originated in Middle Eastern deserts, where it was prized by nomadic tribes and as a war horse, as well. Generations of breeding have enhanced the Arabian's natural soundness, its interactive personality, and its innate desire "to be there with you," as Richardson puts it. This breed is specially adapted for desert living, but today it is found around the world in a wide variety of equestrian disciplines.
