Man’s very essence, his sense of discovery, and his history, were all experienced on the back of a horse. The horse gave man the freedom to discover, to roam, and to settle new lands. The intrinsic nature of mankind’s journey was dependent upon the horse; it was man and horse together against the world.

Modernization dispensed with the need for transport by horseback or horse-drawn wagon, but the resurgence and importance of the horse in the present day suggests we miss the spirit that journeyed with us over centuries.

Does the man – horse journey begin anew? Or does our collective shared memory remind both horse and man that together we shaped the world as we know it?

We are not creating a bond between man and horse; we are merely renewing it, cherishing an eternal partnership.

Arabian Horse

On wings of air
You fly across flamed sand dunes
And in your mane
Are woven a myriad of desert tales
Of battles won,
Loves lost,
Lives abandoned
And honour gained.

And in your gait
You have drowned a hundred excited eyes
And as you have galloped across continents
With the breeze of all the oceans kissing your mane
You have carved new lands with your hoofbeats.

Stand in the morning sunlight
Let it bathe your beauty
With the gold of a thousand worlds

For you, my beloved Arabian horse
Have held the breath of humanity
For centuries

And your story will always be told
Under moonlit nights,
Around silent admiring eyes
For you carry all that is noble in humanity
Within your blood.
