Thousands of years ago, Bedouin breeders began noting lineages of Arabian mares and stallions, prized for their ability to withstand extreme heat, cold and thirst. Camels were reliable for carrying loads across the desert, but on a raid or in battle, a #Bedouin would trust his life only to an Arabian horse. They ruthlessly selected for stamina, speed, soundness and courage, allowing only the very best horses to breed.⠀
⠀
Many places in the Middle East are known as hotbeds for Arabian horses. According to legend, the breed originated from the "south wind," which some have interpreted as meaning they came from #Yemen. Others credit the Bedouin tribes on #SaudiArabia's Nejd plateau as the nucleus of breeders from which the horses arose. #Bahrain, the #UnitedArabEmirates, #Jordan, #Syria and #Egypt can all point to famous stables that have produced refined and prolific Arabian lineages.⠀
⠀
On the southeastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula, #Oman is known for its limestone mountains, blue fiords, limitless deserts and unspoiled beaches. What's lesser known, however, is that it's a surprisingly luxurious destination for travelers. Although horses are ingrained in Omani culture, horse-riding tourism is still developing.⠀
