| 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, or as its descendants exist today in the
United
States, and then to share this information with others through our
various
publications, and through our magazine.

Definition:
The horses of primary interest to Al
Khamsa, which are
called Al Khamsa Arabian Horses, are those horses in North America that
can reasonably be assumed to descend entirely from bedouin
Arabian
horses bred by horse-breeding bedouin tribes of the deserts of the
Arabian
peninsula without admixture from sources unacceptable to Al Khamsa. Al
Khamsa reserves the right to determine which horses are called Al
Khamsa
Arabian Horses.
