THE ARABIAN HORSE
NATURE'S CREATION
AND THE ART OF BREEDING

by HANS JOACHIM NAGEL

This comprehensive book of 528 pages, containing more than 430 colour illustrations, can become every horse fan’s key to successful and horsefriendly
breeding of Arabian horses in the world. It goes beyond that, however.

It’s a guide on how to perceive history anew, a manual on the original cultural environment of Arabian horses who today are citizens of the world who have created comprehensive connections between Western and Eastern cultures. In essence, this book is about and for open-minded people’s multicultural joy in experimenting – an attitude that will hopefully have impacts on other areas of life on earth as well.
