"The Pulse of the Arabian Horse Community "

Al Khamsa - Definitions

The horses of primary interest to Al Khamsa, which are called Al Khamsa Arabian Horses, are those horses in North America that can  reasonably be assumed to descend entirely from bedouin Arabian horses bred by horse breeding bedouin tribes of the deserts of the Arabian peninsula without admixture from sources unacceptable to Al Khamsa. Al Khamsa reserves the right to determine which horses are called Al Khamsa Arabian Horses.  Source:Al Khamsa bylaws (Amended 9/93)
