In the Arab world, animals such as camels, goats, deer, and horses hold significant cultural importance. Among these, horses have a particularly special place, deeply intertwined with Arabic culture and history.
Arabs have long been renowned for their deep affection for horses, a bond that continues to be a source of pride and admiration. This profound connection is evident in the Arab world’s cultural expressions, especially in poetry, where horses are often depicted with noble and majestic qualities.
Horses symbolise magnificence, glory, and dignity, capturing the hearts and imaginations of the Arab people.
This enduring bond between Arabs and horses is often passed down through generations. Many parents encourage their children to learn equestrian skills, fostering a love and respect for these noble animals.
