Barb Horses
The Barb is a relatively common horse. Barbs are considered
ideal for riding, and good work horses as well. They are thought
to originate from Algeria, in the northern region of Africa. Some
believe that their ancestors were brought to the African continent in
the eighth century by Islamic colonists and missionaries. Barbs
are of small to medium size. Barbs are great for riding because
of their size, endurance, and dispositions. They are considered
intuitive horses if they have a relationship with their riders, which
is why they are so popular for riding horses. Their endurance
makes them common for use by the militaries of many countries.
Barbs are consistent in their coloring. Most
Barbs are gray, but there are also bay, black, and chestnut Barbs often
seen. Barbs are sometimes confused with Arabians, though most
horse lovers know that the characteristics of the two horses are very
different. The historical roots of this mistake are simple.
When Barbs were first brought to Europe from Africa, those who brought
them spoke Arabic. Because of the language spoken then, some
people still mistake Barbs for Arabians.
