Arabian book horseThe Arabian Art Of Taming and Training HorsesBy T. GilbertAn arabian book horse in e-book edition!Historically the Arabian has maintained a reputation as the horse of beauty, intelligence, courage, endurance, and romance. Because he was bred and reared in close contact with man from the earliest records, and existing in mutual inter-dependence, he developed an unequaled ability to bond with humans. He is gentle, affectionate, and familiar, almost to the point of being invasive. No FearFoals, for example, have no fear of man, and are usually indifferent to sudden noises. The Arabian gentleness and tractability, while originally the effect of education, is now inherited, and is observed in foals bred in a foreign environment.

According to an ancient Bedouin legend, Allah created the Arabian horse from the four winds; it's spirit comes from the North wind, it's strength from the South wind, it's speed from the East, and it's intelligence was contributed by the wind from the West. Other versions of the story claim Allah said to the South Wind: "I want to make a creature out of you. Condense." Then from the material condensed from the wind, he made the Arabian and said to it: "I call you Horse; I make you Arabian and I give you the chestnut color of the ant; I have hung happiness from the forelock which hangs between your eyes; you shall be the Lord of the other animals. Men shall follow you wherever you go; you shall be as good for flight as for pursuit; you shall fly without wings; riches shall be on your back and fortune shall come through your meditation." For centuries, Arabian horses lived in the desert in close contact with humans. For shelter and security, prized war mares were often kept in their owner's tent, close to children and everyday family life. Only horses with a naturally good disposition were bred. This e-book discusses the taming and training of Arabian horses in detail and emphasizes the need for gentleness and understanding, as can be seen from this extract: The Arabian Art Of Taming and Training Horses"The manner in which he is treated from a foal gives him an affection and attachment for his master not known in any other country. The Arab and his children, the mare and her foal, inhabit the tent together; and although the foal and the mare's neck are often pillows for the children to roll upon, no accident ever occurs, the mare being as careful of the children as of the colt. Such is the mutual attachment between the horse and his master, that he will leave his companions at his master's call, ever glad to obey his voice. And when the Arab falls from his horse, and is unable to rise again, he will stand by him and neigh for assistance; and if he lays down to sleep, as fatigue sometimes compels him to do in the midst of the desert, his faithful steed will watch over him, and neigh to arouse him if man or beast approaches. The Arabs frequently teach their horses secret signs or signals, which they make use of on urgent occasions to call forth their utmost exertions. These are more efficient than the barbarous mode of urging them on with the spur and whip, a forcible illustration of which will be found in the following anecdote…" from The Arabian Art Of Taming and Training Horses by T. GilbertThis is a book that every lover of Arabian Horses should have on their bookshelf (or on their hard disc!)
