Al Khamsa, the Five Horses of Legend
The Bedouins tell tales of the noble equines, Al Khamsa, five magnificent mares that were a gift from Allah to the Prophet Muhammed. My heart has a special place for this beloved breed of horse, commonly known as the Arabian. Their distinctive dish-shaped faces, spirit, and large, intelligent eyes make them a favorite of horse fanciers the world over. My passion for them began when I was a young girl, and I will always love the "Drinkers of the Wind", as the Bedouin people affectionately and reverently call them. As you can see from this set, I have a fondness for the Kehilan strain with its characteristic facial features.
My friends, I hope my Arabian horses might find as dear a place in your hearts as they have mine. This PNG set includes dapple grays, palominos and one black Arabian. Strictly speaking, there are no purebred palomino Arabians, however; horses with beautiful Arabian characteristics do occur with careful selective breeding for conformation and color.
