Al Khamsa (organization)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Al Khamsa is a nonprofit organization in the United States for lovers of original Arabian horses. The name derives from the Al Khamsa Arabian horses, the name applied to the five favorite horses of Mohammed. The particular purpose of Al Khamsa is to preserve the Bedouin Arabian horse in pure bloodlines in the United States.

Many of the pure Arabians in the United States trace their ancestry in whole or part to the Davenport horses collected and preserved by Homer Davenport and others in the late nineteenth century.
