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.

disappointing..

Well, remains an interesting picture nevertheless that shows the bedu horses could have had extremely pretty heads even to today’s standards.
Any idea on the number of desert breds are kept in Dirab and with Turki?
