"Authorities are at odds about where the Arabian horse originated. The subject is hazardous, for archaeologists' spades and shifting sands of time are constantly unsettling previously established thinking. There are certain arguments for the ancestral Arabian having been a wild horse in northern Syria, southern Turkey and possibly the Piedmont regions to the east as well. The area along the northern edge of the Fertile Crescent comprising part of Iraq and running along the Euphrates and west across Sinai and along the coast to Egypt, offered a mild climate and enough rain to provide an ideal environment for horses. Other historians suggest this unique breed originated in the southwestern part of Arabia, offering supporting evidence that the three great river beds in this area provided natural wild pastures and were the centers in which Arabian horses appeared as undomesticated creatures to the early inhabitants of southwestern Arabia."

There are many different myths about the origin of the Arabian, but one of the best known one is the Muhammad myth. He chose to test his herd of mares to their loyalty, so he took them on a journey through the desert with no water. After their journey, the horses were in desperate need of water, so he told them to go find an oasis, and let them loose. When the horses were almost at an oasis, he told them to return to him, but only five horses returned. These mares then became his favorites, and he called them "Al Khamsa" which means the five. These five mares are said to be the legendary strain of Arabians, and that all Arabians originated from them, and some people actually claim that their Arabians have Al Khamsa blood in them today!! Hope it helped!! :)
