The Definition

The Arabian Horse traces through all its ancestors to the atiq horses of the Arab people.

Arabians are asil by definition. For a horse to be assumed asil: its pedigree must be exclusively based on the breeding of the Arab Bedouin tribes in its homeland, the horse must be free of any cross breeding to non-Arabian horses represented by definite evidence of impurity (hujna), and carry a recognized strain name (rasan) and sub-strain (marbat) as per the Bedouin norms that can be reasonably assumed correct.

A horse is only Arabian if both free of hujna, and of known acceptable origin.
