Exodus
by Greely
Today, it is universally recognized that the Arabian horse is a horse
with certain unique characteristics. What is less well known is the history
of the Arabian horse and its fight to retain its purity and its very survival.
In this book the autthor has set out to record the story from pre-biblical
times to the present day. It is a record of pilgrimage which began in the
desert. Many extracts from contemporary diaries and traveller’s accounts,
including those of Lady Ann Blunt and her husband Wilfrid Scawen Blunt—to
when the world owes a debt than can never be repaid for the survial and
preservation of the Arabian breed. Amazon.com

Arabians:
The Classic Arabian Horse
by Peter Upton, Rik Van Lent
The oldest breed of horse in the world, the Arabian's beginnings are
anything but humble. Born, according to ancient Arab tales, of the south
wind, coming from Hoshabeh, now Yemen:
To create the Arab horse, God spoke to the south wind: "I will
create from you a being which will be a happiness to the good and a misfortune
to the bad. Happiness shall be on its forehead, bounty on its back and
joy in the possessor."
When it comes to talking about Arabian horses, such passion is not unusual,
and it's a passion that author Peter Upton and editor Hossein Amirsadeghi,
along with photographers Rik van Lent, Sr. and Jr., lovingly share in Arabians:
The Classic Arabian Horse. Both a stunning photographic journey--composed
of more than 250 full-color photographs, arranged by geographical area--and
a fascinating history lesson, Arabians begins with a thorough examination
of the horse's origins, which date back to 1700 B.C. Such notable historical
figures as the prophet Mohammed and the queen of Sheba were Arabian devotees.
The breed's popularity spread outside of the Arab world beginning in the
last half of the 17th century, peaking in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Other areas of discussion include the distinct features and characteristics
of the breed (its exquisite head and high tail carriage as well as its
"vigour, courage and great powers of endurance") and the numerous strains
and substrains of the breed, which, when combined with a glossary of Arabic
terms and a complete listing of Arabian horse organizations, registries,
and societies, truly make Arabians the "definitive book on this revered
breed." --Stefanie Hargreaves - Amazon.com
