Described in BC. They came to Arabia 1500 years ago through nomadic Bedouins, who admired their "sons of the desert" so much that they fed the animals by hand and let them sleep with them in their tents. For this reason, the Arab developed particularly pleasant traits: a benign temperament, one excellent character, tolerance and devotion. The highly intelligent horses have excellent hearing and a keen sense of memory and location.
They are also incredibly tough and frugal. Their movements are easy, graceful and with expansive corridors. Arab-Berbers About 1000 years ago, this horse breed was created by crossing Arabs or thoroughbred Arabs and Berbers. Even today, both pure breeding and combination breeding are permitted. The fast and agile Arab-Berbers are becoming more and more popular, especially in Central Europe, but there are only very few breeders. The Arab-Berber is said to combine the best of both of its original races. Breeders want an appearance of a square, rounded and harmonious horse. The neck should be long and with a significantly longer, more muscular and impressively curved topline, as we know it from the Andalusian. The long hair is a little more sparse than that of the Berber, but the thick, full mane sometimes to the shoulder and the tail sometimes to the ground. All colors are used, the horses often even have a metallic sheen in their fur. In addition, they are considered to be extremely nervous. Particularly noteworthy is the willingness to enter into close relationships with people. They are very gentle, very willing to learn and work and their temperament is considered to be more balanced than that of the thoroughbred Arabs.
