What are some good tips about Arabian horses?

Question

i need to know as much about them as possible-please make them simple!not big huge words that most people dont know what they mean!

Answer 1

Arabs are very intelligent, sensitive horses.
They need a gentle hand and tend to do better with people who are calm and quiet.

They are high-energy horses, great at traveling all day in 50- or 100-mile endurance competitions.

Arabs tend to be smaller horses, from 14.2 hh to 15.2 hh, they have fine graceful heads and big eyes. They are easy keepers for the most part and need a smallish amount of food to stay healthy.

Arabians are commonly grey, bay, and chestnut, with black being more rare.
Legally they may also have sabino pinto spotting and can be rabicano (skunk-tail) roan. Many breeders don't like these colors but they are legal with the breed registry.
Palomino, buckskin, Dark-headed roan, and Tobiano and Overo pinto patterns are not allowed to be registered.

The Arabian horse is a breed of horse with a reputation for intelligence, high spirit, and outstanding stamina. It is one of the oldest breeds, with ancestry dating to the ancient world. For centuries, Arabian horses lived in the desert in close association with humans. Prized war mares were sometimes kept in the family tent, along with small children. Because only horses with a naturally good disposition were allowed to breed on, Arabians today are one of the few breeds where the United States Equestrian Federation allows children to exhibit stallions in show ring classes limited to riders under 18. Is that enough info for you? I hope so.

Answer 4

Arabians are very spirited horses. Noted they carry their heads and tails high with a fancy trot. As my mom calls it a "snotty" walk (someone who is stuck up).

The Arab is versatile and varied in breed. They can race, jump, use for dressage, or other full range of riding styles. Might not have the full stamina to complet to win, however they do it with such willing and soundness.

Arabs are adaptable to every type of environment or climate. They are generally kind and friendly, but can be high spirited, even neurotic. I noticed many are skid dish of water and fast moving objects. They are noted to be highly intelligent. There lope is more smoothed gate.

My Egyptian Arabian is like this.

Answer 5

In my experience Younger Arabs are more hyper than older ones. They make great show horses because they are so smooth gated and always have good confirmation (physical features). If you get a young one that is hyper the key is to get them a bit worn out before you ride. I would run mine on a lunge line (in a circle) for awhile until you have that hyper edge taken off then you can ride them with out problem. They are usually very smart and love to be rewarded.

Answer 6

Arabians are great horses. You can ride them in any style amd they will excel at what ever you wan't them to do. The world's best Endurance horses are Arabians.

Answer 7

They are beautiful, but for your first horse I would say that they have to much energy and are to hyper for your first horse. they are used mostly for dressage and endurance's ridding.They are very graceful and pretty to watch and enjoy.I hope this helped, if you were thinking of buying one for yourself.If you do really want one then go with a gelding, but they are still full of energy and life and need a lot of room to run and play.

Answer 8

Sorry not much info on the horses, except that they are beautiful, very expensive horses and they are the best for horse race.

Answer 9

i have a arab. they can be very headstrong. it works rele well to lung them. if they dont kno how to lung start in a round pen. my arab wont lung unless he is in a round pen. it drives me nuts. but all i can say is be very nice and dont ever hit them or smack them or something. they remember it and it takes a long time to regain there trust. they can be so sweet at times but can be rele bad at others. thats how they r. if they get hurt by something they remember it. they remeber everything. mine was scared of wheelbarrows for a long time becuz he backed into one. i hope ive been helpful.

Answer 10

if it's a mare, be careful when she's in heat. this applies to many breeds, but arabs (in my experience) are VERY skiddish when in heat.
