The Significance of Horses in Arab Culture
Historically, Arabian horses held immense value and were celebrated in poetry by their owners, who were often poets and warriors. One prominent example is found in a verse by Al-Mutanabbi praising his horse:
“And what is the horse but a friend, scarce in number,
“Though many there are in the eyes of those who have not tried.”
Al-Mutanabbi emphasized that, like true friends, horses are few and far between, and their loyalty is revealed only through experience and trials.
