There is much mythology regarding the origins of the Arabian horse, but my favorite story is the one in which the angel, Gabriel descends from Heaven and appears to a sleeping Ishmael who is awakened by a wind spout whirling toward him.  Gabriel commands the spout to stop scattering dust and rain.  The rain then gathers and develops into a prancing, beautiful creature that seems to swallow up the ground.  The Bedouins bestowed the name, Drinker of the Wind to this first Arabian.

I dreamed about having my own Arabian since childhood (see my About Me page for more on that) and after many years, I have not one, but two to call my own.  They are full brother and sister, and they answer to the names, Honey and Flame.  I love all horses, but especially Arabians…with their delicate faces and delicate ears…their curvy necks and large, expressive eyes…the way they hold their tails high when they run…

I have always loved reading everything I could get my hands on about all horses, not just Arabians, and I occasionally like to write about them too. So…I’ve created a blog to indulge in such pursuits.  This blog is a place to have fun and look at pictures of pretty horses mostly. I won’t be doing deep research here, so just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride with me. 🙂
