The Pure Bred Arabian Horse begins a saga with no recorded beginning – as legend would have, he is born of the south wind – as if he has always been there. You find him etched into the sandstone of the temples of ancient Egypt, extolling his glorious victories, which are a testament to his courage, loyalty and swiftness. The purebred Arabian has a heritage like no other. And as the south wind blows the desert sands across the ages, the tales in each grain praise a horse used for hunting lions, coursing in his chariot, being swifter than the wind and a protector of man…

The AHBAA also has some progressive ideas about  the education of the young.  I strongly believe that it is vitally important to reach children at an impressionable age, and the AHBAA note they will endeavour to inspire and endear the Arabian horse to the young minds and hearts of horse loving children, through educational avenues.
