Great post from our friends at Aset Egyptian Arabians!

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐁𝐮𝐲 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞?
When considering a horse, the breed matters. Arabian horses are often misunderstood, with some claiming they are "too spooky" or "high-strung." In reality, Arabians offer an exceptional blend of intelligence, loyalty, and emotional connection that sets them apart from other breeds.

𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬
Arabians are incredibly in tune with their owners’ emotions. Whether you’re feeling down or happy, they pick up on it. Their gentle nature shines through, especially with children, where they instinctively tread lightly, ensuring safety and comfort.

𝐀 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲
Throughout history, Arabian horses have been renowned for their loyalty. These horses have accompanied generals, royalty, and warriors into battle, always standing by their human companions. Their devotion knows no bounds, and they form deep emotional bonds not only with people but with other horses as well.

𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐊𝐞𝐲
Arabians have a strong sense of dignity and expect to be treated as equals. Training an Arabian is all about mutual respect. They respond best to kind, firm, and fair handling. Abuse or mistreatment, however, will only lead to resistance. Their strength of spirit is unparalleled, and they will not break under pressure or harsh treatment.

𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬
One of the most remarkable qualities of Arabian horses is how quickly they learn. With proper training, they can pick up commands such as walking, trotting, and cantering in just a day. Their sharp intelligence even allows them to learn by observing other horses, making them highly adaptable learners.

𝐀 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐝
Once you’ve formed a bond with an Arabian horse, you’ll understand why they’re so unique. They look you in the eye, seemingly understanding your thoughts and feelings. They don’t just perform tasks; they actively try to connect and communicate with you. This emotional depth creates a relationship that feels more like a partnership than a typical horse-owner dynamic.

𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞
Owning an Arabian is a deeply rewarding experience. Their intelligence, loyalty, and emotional connection go far beyond what most people expect from a horse. Once you’ve experienced this connection, it’s easy to see why people say: "𝐎𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐨 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞," 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭. 𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞—𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞."
