But one of my favorite stories is that the first Miniature Horse breeders were from Arab tribes. They bred the Miniature Horse for the delight of their sheiks and their children. Although horses were prized for horse back riding, there was also a need for horses to share the palace. Backing up this theory is that of the rediscovery of the Caspian Horse breed, named because it was rediscovered in the area of the Caspian Sea. They were native to Iran and are considered the forefathers of the mighty Arabian horse breed. T
