Worm- blooded horses originates from the near Orient and the 
countries around the Mediterranean basin and are characterized 
by lightness , quality, fineness, courage and impetuosity .The 
influence of the Arabian horses on all wdrm blooded breeds and 
on the Thoroughbreds is not open to doubt.Lady Wentworth prese
nted an illuminating evidence on the preponderant influence of 
Arabian horses on modern Thoroughbred and on that the excellence 
of the latter could not have been attained without the free 
admixture with Arabian blood (Wynmalen , 1966).
