About Al Khamsa
Mission Statement

Al Khamsa, Inc., is a not-for-profit organization devoted to the preservation of the horse of Bedouin Arabia, as recognized by Al Khamsa, through education and research in a non-competitive social climate which draws admirers of such horses together with the interest of fitting the Bedouin horse into western life. Our work is to study, document, research, find out as much as we can about the Arabian Horse of Bedouin origin as it exists today and then to share this information with others through our various publications, and through our magazine.
