Schleich - Arabian Mare
Arabian Mare
The spotlessly white Arabian Mare is the beauty of the horse farm. Her friends can be truly proud to be close to her. Whoever walks by the pasture simply has to stop and admire her. Did you know that Arabian horses belong to the oldest horse breeds in the world? As sport horses they are also unrivaled! Who dares to go for a ride?
The beautiful Arabian Mare sets her delicate hooves down gracefully and looks over the pasture with an alert gaze. A thick strand of yellowish-white mane falls over her forehead. It looks great! I wonder if she knows how beautiful she is. Only the hooves and the muzzle with the large nostrils are dark. She has a pink patch on the front of her muzzle. The rest of her coat is a brilliant white. Attentively she pricks up her ears. Where has her Arabian Foal (sold separately) gone? She'd better go and have a look.

Arabian horses were bred by Bedouins and lived with the families in the desert - sometimes they even slept in their tents! Today these remarkable horses can be recognized by their tails and head form. Almost all horse breeds go back to an Arabian bloodline, as Arabian horses were crossed in order to pass on certain characteristics such as speed, endurance and a disposition for healthy bones to other breeds. Arabians are characterized by a readiness of mind and a willingness to cooperate, as well as alertness and temperament. The 'Versatile Arabian' often wins at endurance competitions and is a popular breed worldwide.
