The Assyrians learned riding and cavalry employement from the Medes, they also obtained horses from the Medes. The Medes finally destroyed Assyria as well. Considering the resemblance, it is probably safe to say that the bedouin obtained descendants from Assyrian horses, that is unless there where wild horses in the Arabian peninsula and they caught their own :) Their horses did not come from the bedouins but from the Medes.
