In my opinion, this book is the best book that has been written on the Arabian horse to date. The author takes you to the source of those that created the Arabian breed. Along the journey, the author gives a thorough review of the Arabian horse. He starts with the history of the desert breed Arabian and explains how the Arabian was imported to different parts of the world. The lineage of some of the most important Arabian horses to influence the breed is discussed and often traces those Arabians back to the desert tribe from where they originated. The author examins the Arabian based on what the desert tribes value as important to the success of the breed in the harsh desert environment. Then the author takes you on a trip around the world to explore the different types of Arabian horses. He travels from tribe to tribe, and country to country, showing off some of the world's best equines. The photography is superb and captures the essence of the Arabian. This is one book that should be in every Arabian horse lover's library.

I own two Arabian horses and have many books but this is by far the best I have ever seen. It is rich in history of this noble breed and shows the breed not only as a show horse but in it's natural untouched state as well. If you love horses and in particular Arabians, this is a book you must have.

If there's one book you must have about arabians, it is the one. All you need to know is in it. complete history, wonderful pictures and illustrations. You are really immersed in arabians roots...

This books is the best book that I've ever got regarding Arabian Horses. It has beautiful pictures and painting, covering history and breder around the world. It is just a great book...if you like Arabian Horses...go and get it.

This book is a necessity for the library of any Arabian lover. The text and photographs take you around the world and through the passages of time. Fabulous photographs and wonderful attention to detail. What a worthwhile purchase!

This is a great title to add to your ever growing arabian horse book collection. It's excellent reading, as it contains everything that you need to know about this magnificant breed and is fully illustrated with beautiful graphics.

This book has entrancing photos, and skips through a large number of countries and studs. If you are looking for in depth information on Arabians in any particulary part of the world this book is not for you. It looks at selected studs only. If you want lovely pictures you wont be unhappy.

...It has some of the most amazing pictures in it. I like howit tells about places in different countries that raise Arabians. Iwould definitely recommend it. END

I bought this book along with The Arabian Horse, History, Mystery and Magic. It is the exact same book. Different cover. Different publisher. Different name. But the exact same book. Buy this one, it is much cheaper. Sally Mercer
