Silver Pserenity CTA - 4 week old pure Polish grey Arabian filly demonstrates her Arabian war mare moves at play. ;-) The Arabian horse was primarily an instrument of war, as were horses in general in most societies of the time. A well mounted Bedouin could attack an enemy tribe and capture their herds of sheep, camels and goats, adding to the wealth of their own tribe. Such a raid was only successful if the aggressors could attack with surprise and speed and make good their escape. Mares were the best mounts for raiding parties, as they would not nicker to the enemy tribe's horses, warning of their approach. The best war mares exhibited great courage in battle, taking the charges and the spear thrusts without giving ground. Speed and endurance were essential as well, for the raids were often carried out far from the home camp, family and children. (from the AHR History of the Arabian Horse Heritage) Loyal Arabian war mares would stand guard over their fallen riders in battle, risking their own safety for the safety of their masters. This pretty grey Arabian filly is by the multiple Champion Polish Arabian stallion Poirot++ out of a Polish Arabian mare, IV Silver Shadow. She is the product of many generations of National Champions and National Champion producers on both her sire and dam side.
