Arabian Horse

Bred for War. Many myths and legends have been passed down by the Bedouin tribes about the horse referred to simply as the "Arabian." Although there is no proof of any of these old stories, what is certainly true is that the Arabian horse was unmatched in its speed, agility, and stamina during the time period. The Parthian military used Arabians exclusively as mounts and to pull military chariots. Arabians made excellent mounts, and their ability to travel long distances over sandy terrain also made them a favored companion of desert nomads in the region.

The Legend of Safanad

One of these old stories about Arabian horses dates back to the reign of King Solomon. According to legend, Solomon was gifted an Arabian named Safanad from the Queen of Sheba during her visit to Israel. Safanad (whose name means "purity") was so fast that she could outrun any other horse alive. According to legend, there are still descendants of Safanad living in the Arabian desert to this day, and if you are lucky enough to gain one as a mount, it will never fail you.
