Since the beginning of time – the Arabian horse was bred to carry their masters deep into the
desert with lightning speed and into battle. They were originally built for their speed and
endurance. In this day, the Arabian not only leaves its hoof prints in the desert sands, but
on the modern-day racetrack as well.
The Arabian is the original racehorse. When the English breeders wanted to add speed and endurance to their horses, they turned to the Arabian. The result was the Thoroughbred.
The Arabian Cup Championships began in 1995. Arabian racing has grown with rapid speed along with the
people who crowd to see these magnificent animals. The Arabian represents freedom, strength, and power
and the spectators seem to become mesmerized by this alone.
According to the Columbia Encyclopaedia, Sixth Edition, Horse racing may have had its roots in Egypt in about 1500 BC, and some events continue in Egypt today. The breeding of Arabian horses also remains a popular endeavour.
Al-Zahraa Farm is one of the Middle East most important and oldest farms for true-born Arab horses. It dates back to the reign of Mohammed Aly family when it was outstandingly cared for as being the ruling family farm.
