The Anglo-Arabian is an aristocratic athlete with athletic qualities that are required of a Sports Horse and with competitive clout.

To be able to register in a studbook, an Anglo-Arabian horse must have at least 25 or not more than 75 Arabian blood, no matter of the crossbred combination it has been made, either the cross is between a Thoroughbred and Arabian, Thoroughbred and Anglo-Arabian, Arabian and Anglo-Arabian and between two Anglo-Arabians. The cross between these two breeds is so well because they both come from the same genetic pool.

They are the only breed in the Arabian family that at least one parent doesn`t have to be a purebred Arabian. The origin comes from France in the time of Napoleon when he came back from Egypt with a liking for Arabian horses and brought several of them when he was returning.
