The horses of primary interest to Al Khamsa, which are called “Al Khamsa Arabian Horses,” are those horses in North America that can  reasonably be assumed to descend entirely from bedouin Arabian horses  bred by horse-breeding Bedouin tribes of the deserts of the Arabian peninsula without admixture from sources unacceptable to Al Khamsa. Al Khamsa reserves the right to determine which horses are called “Al Khamsa Arabian Horses.”
