... one of the oldest breeds,...

The Arabian is my next quickie project,.. just a little something to clear my mind before my first commission piece.

Originating on the Arabian Peninsula this horse has a distinctive head shape and high tail carriage making it one of the most easily recognizable horse breeds in the world,.. it is also one of the oldest breeds, dating back 4,500 years.  This breed developed in a desert climate and was prized by nomadic people, often being brought inside the family tent for shelter and protection from theft, developing the trait and ability to form a cooperative relationship with humans making it good-natured and quick to learn animal. They are now found worldwide, including the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, continental Europe, South America, and of course its land of origin, the Middle East.
