	Arabian horse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the Bedouins, God created the Arabian horse from the South Wind, saying "I call you Horse; I make you Arabian and I give you the chestnut color of the ant; I have hung happiness from the forelock which hangs between your eyes; you shall be the Lord of the other animals.
		The Darley Arabian, one of three foundation stallions of the modern Thoroughbred breed was brought to England in 1703 (the other two being the Byerley Turk and the Godolphin).
		Because of the genetic purity of the Arabian horse, it is often used as a refining influence on other breeds, and has played a significant part in the evolution of almost every recognized breed, including Thoroughbreds, Percherons, Welsh Ponies, American Quarter Horses, Morgans, Saddlebreds, and all of the warmblood breeds.

	Foundation Sires of the Thoroughbred Horse Breed
		The Darley Arabian was described after he had been sent home to England in 1704 by Thomas Darley, as a "horse of exquisite beauty." This horse is the only one of the three Thoroughbred foundation sires whose actual lineage has ever been established- although some controversy surrounds it.
		Darley wrote of him that he was "of the most esteemed race among the Arabs, both by sire and dam, and the name is called Manicka." Mi-ni-ki or Ma-na-ki (from the root meaning long-necked, whence also "Sons of Anak") is known to every dabbler in desert pedigrees.
		The Darley Arabian did make a mark with his first generation of progeny, siring Flying Childers- the first truely great racehorse- and through grandson, Bartletts Childers (useless on the racecourse because of weak blood vessels), he became the great-great grandsire of perhaps the most famous racehorse of all time, Eclipse.

		Most Thoroughbreds can trace their ancestry to one of two Arabians (the Godolphin Arabian or the Darley Arabian), or to a stallion of middle-Eastern blood, known as the Byerly Turk.
		Over the years, the classic Arabian features such as the dished face and the slender build have been bred out of the modern Thoroughbred in favor of the breakneck speed the breed is now known for, but the Thoroughbred, in large part, owes its stamina and courage to its Arabian ancestors.
		Many warmblood breeders are breeding their stock back to the Arabian in an effort to solve some of the soundness problems caused by an over-heavy build.
