magazine, a quarterly publication
produced by: Al Khamsa, Inc. - an
organization dedicated to the
preservation and educational efforts in support of the Original Desert Arabian horse. The publication began back in 1984 as a way of keeping the Al Khamsa Community of Supporters in touch with each other, and to present educational material about Al Khamsa Horses to the general public on an international scale. Today these horses are specifically flagged in the general Arabian Horse Registry database. Consider a subscription and help support the Asil Arabian. It is available in both paper and digital formats. Go HERE for the Al Khamsa Horse Roster
