Arabian Horse

Amy is posting by proxy today:

Today, Ivor is a Black Arabian horse, quite fitting since Arabians have a reputation for intelligence, high spirit, alertness, and outstanding stamina. Ivor comes from a distinguished line, as Arabians are one of the oldest horse breeds, perhaps dating back 4,500 years, and are one of the top 10 most popular breeds in the world. Surely the most popular at the ABA! The Arabian also has a close relationship with humans and is good-natured, quick to learn, and willing to please. Right on the mark! This combination of willingness and sensitivity requires owners like Jonathan to handle his Arabian with competence and respect.

“The black Arabians seems to have something magical, something that makes people go all starry-eyed and dreamy.” “For us – the Arabian lovers – it's clear that the Black Beauty must have been Arabian as only Arabian horses are so tender, intelligent and brave, combining these features with grace and majesty.”
