This magnificent book takes the reader on a journey from the desserts of the ancient near east to the racetracks of England to show the context from which the Arabian horse emerges. It explores the history of the horse in the middle east in the ancient and Islamic periods, looks at the horse in the Arabian Peninsula itself, and describes how from the seventeenth century onwards many oriental stallions including Arabian were imported into Britain to improve the native stocks as well as to preserve the pure blood of the Arabian itself.
