.....A beautiful, delicate head
characterizes the Arabian,
often with a "dished" or
concave profile below large,
prominent eyes; a high-set, arched neck;and a naturally high tail carriage.The back
is short and straight; the
withers are pronounced and long; the chest is muscular,
deep and broad; the shoulders long and sloping; the legs muscular with broad strong joints and clearly defined
tendons; and the hooves
small with very tough horn,
wide at the heel. These
points of "type" give the
Arabian its distinctive beauty.

.....The ideal height for an Arabian is between14.2 and 15 hands and may be chestnut, gray, bay, and black. White
markings on the face and legs are common.

.....The coat is fine
and silky and the skin is
invariably black. The mane
and tail are full.

 The Arabian Horse Registry of America, Inc. is the oldest
organization in North America serving owners of purebred
Arabian horses. The Registry was founded in 1908 by a group
of individuals who shared a passion for the past, present and
future of the purebred Arabian horse. Since its inception, the
Registry has been the central governing authority in North
America for the breed. Its primary purpose is to ensure the
purity of the blood of purebred Arabian horses by establishing
high standards for registration and by maintaining accurate
and complete registration records.

On September 2, 1908, the Arabian Horse Club of America, Inc.
was founded in New York state. The first meeting was held at
the Hotel Belmont and was attended by the incorporators:
Henry K. Bush-Brown, Homer Davenport, Charles A. Voetsch,
Francis A. Huck, and James B. Kilburn.

The name and location of the organization changed two more
times until it finally settled in Colorado under the name,
"Arabian Horse Registry of America, Inc."
