The Classic Arabian Horse

Racing Arabian Horses in Turkey

Plot

It would be difficult to find anyone in the world with more knowledge of the Egyptian Arabian than Judith Forbis who, with her husband Don, owns Ansata Arabian Stud. The author spent many years studying the Arabian in the Middle East, and this is readily apparent from reading her book. The results of her research she presents here in a detailed history of the Arabian horse from its time of introduction in Egypt to the present day. The Egyptian Arabian in both Egypt and around the world is presented. A description and drawings of the “classic” Arabian horse are provided. Illustrated with 217 photographs (including those of Ibn Rabdan, Negma, *Tuhotmos, Nafaa El Saghira, *Ansata Ibn Halima, Mona, Mabrouka, Moniet El Nefous, Antar, Bint Helwa, El Araby, Nazeer, and Ghadia, etc.) and reproductions of ancient and modern art, 431 pages.
