Ikarus361's video: Asian Games Doha 2006 OC Tribute to the Desert Horseman

''To honour his guests, the Seeker presents the unique skills of the desert horseman and the nobility of the Arabian horse.'' One of the oldest breeds of horse in the world -- if not the oldest -- and the only true purebread, the Arabian is easily recognised by its distinctive wedge-shaped head, 'dished' or concave profile and the high carriage of its tail. It has extraordinary stamina, a reputation for intelligence and a fiery temperament. Tamed and domesticated by the Bedouin, the Arabian horse played a significant role in the survival of desert tribes who used it in warfare and to herd their camels, sheep and goats. Prized warhorse mares were so valuable they were often kept in the family tent with the younger children. I'm sorry for the average quality, i'll try to find a better quality video in the future.
