Bred by Bedouins as a war mount, the Egyptian Arabian is intelligent and strong, with a lineage that dates back thousands of years. There aren’t many of these horses around, but 23 live on a historic Orange County estate. Photography by Jeff Greenough

  • Arabians

    This is a well done article and as a former breeder and trainer of Egyptian Arabians I'll vouch for the top tier quality of Mrs. Taylor's lines. My 28 year old Egyptian gelding has carried my daughter in 3 day eventing and hunting. Your readers might enjoy this article I wrote for Virginia Country Livinghttp://cvillexpert.com/wordpress/?p=12
