Taif emerges as a sanctuary for Arabian horse heritage
Saudi Gazette report TAIF — In the cool highlands of Taif, a city long associated with beauty and tradition, a powerful story of preservation and pride unfolds centered around one of the Kingdom's most iconic symbols: the Arabian horse. Within this historic governorate, breeders and enthusiasts are dedicating themselves to the meticulous care and preservation of the Arabian horse, widely regarded as a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia's cultural identity. Their work is not just a nod to the past, but a living commitment to a legacy that continues to define the nation's spirit. Dr. Fawziah Al-Salmi, Professor of Zoology at Taif University, highlighted the enduring purity and global status of the Kingdom's horses in remarks to the Saudi Press Agency. 'The Arabian horse is unmatched in authenticity,' she said. 'Thanks to the unwavering dedication of breeders to protect original genes and pure bloodlines, Saudi Arabia has recorded the highest number of Arabian horse births globally. This is not just a statistic. It's a reflection of the Kingdom's deep cultural investment.'Beyond genetics, the symbolism of these horses runs deep. Dr. Talal Al-Thaqafi, a faculty member and cultural critic, described the Arabian horse as a living emblem of courage, pride, and timeless beauty. 'Their connection to our community is profound,' he said. 'Arabian horses are woven into Islamic history and Arab poetry — both classical and Nabati — carrying with them stories of valor, elegance, and honor.'The focus on preserving this noble breed in Taif reflects a broader national vision: to celebrate and protect Saudi Arabia's cultural treasures. Through education, local stewardship, and institutional support, efforts continue to ensure that the legacy of the Arabian horse is not only remembered, but thrives galloping forward into the future as proudly as it has through the past.
