Charmed Zebras!

Hey Everyone!

Today I wanted to talk about some awesome Charmed horses you can still receive from ANY random breeding of an Amaretto horse.

These are the Zebra Charmed!

They are totally amazing!

These horses do NOT pass their eyes or coat. But if you breed a Charmed Horse (whether it is with another Charmed Horse or any other horse) you DO have an increased chance at receiving another random Charmed Horse.

So good luck at getting one of these amazing horses!

The Arabian Horse

The exact origins of the Arabian horse are still a mystery. Its distinctive silhouette is first seen in the art of ancient Egypt more than 3,500 years ago, but it was the nomadic peoples of the Arabian desert, known as the Bedouin, who created and refined the pure breed that exists today. The Bedouin tribes trace their common history with Arab horses back to 3000 B.C. and keep meticulous ancestral records, also known as pedigrees.

Arabian horses are the topic of many myths and legends. One origin story tells how Muhammad chose his foundation mares by a test of their courage and loyalty. One version of the story states that after a long journey through the desert, Muhammad turned his herd of horses loose to race to an oasis for a desperately needed drink of water. Before the herd reached the water, Muhammad called for the horses to return to him. Only five mares responded. Because they faithfully returned to their master, though desperate with thirst, these mares became his favorites and were called Al Khamsa, meaning, the five. These mares became the legendary founders of the five “strains” of the Arabian horse.

A Bedouin story states that Allah created the Arabian horse from the south wind and exclaimed, “I create thee, Oh Arabian. To thy forelock, I bind Victory in battle. On thy back, I set a rich spoil and a Treasure in thy loins. I establish thee as one of the Glories of the Earth… I give thee flight without wings. If you see an Arabian running with its tail held high, it does indeed resemble flight without wings.

One of the first traited coats Amaretto came out with was the Arabian breed. You could get these horses by breeding any horse with a starter horse or by breeding together two starter horses. The coat could be passed.

In order to make room for new things, in 2012 Arabs were put “Out to Pasture”. This meant that starters from the Amaretto store, Limited Editions, and Haven horses could not drop the coat, however they could still be bred from existing lines. They have also been used in several other coats, like the Showhorse, the Craved Speckled, Craved Stormy, and the Craved Bone-Jangles. Some breeders have also used them in making “trend” horses. Maybe you can think of a trend horse using the beautiful Arabian horse.
