    About

    This blog is maintained by Edouard al-Dahdah, a breeder and lover of Desert Arabian Horses, and otherwise an economist at the World Bank in Washington, DC. It seeks to share a passion, of course, but also to raise awareness about desert Arabian horses, their homeland and their heritage. Keep reading and I will keep posting.
