- Curator's comments
- Today, the purity of the Arabian breed is carefully preserved through registration and the tracking of exports and imports around the world. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for example, all purebred Arabian horses are registered at the Ministry of Agriculture King Abdul Aziz Arabian Horse Centre at Dirab, 35 kilometres southwest of Riyadh. Each horse is issued with a passport issued in accordance with the regulations of the World Arabian Horse Organisation (WAHO), giving full details of identification.
