a few of the settled population and the Bedouins generally both
^iTand breed horses. In the Bahrain Islands there are only a few
Jes about 50 in number, owned by the ruling family; they are of
y vji' |3 reec l but have deteriorated in consequence of the climate and the
miiditions in which they are kept. In the Hasa Sanjaq the horses
mffnpd by the settled population are few, there being only about 100 in
the Oasis of Hasa and 50 in that of Qatif ; but the Bedouins of the
curroundino- deserts are well provided with horses, and _ from them
serviceable animals of some breeding may be obtained at prices ranging
from £18 to £36. In the Kuwait Principality horses are possessed, as
the? are elsewhere, by the Bedouins. Najd or Central Arabia is the
nrincipal horse-breeding country in the

and the only one
in the world, except the adjacent Syrian desert, where the genuine Arab
is produced on any considerable scale. Here horses are most numerous
in northern Central Arabia or Jabal Shammar, nearly all persons ot
consideration in that district possessing a larger or a smaller number;
but the export trade depends largely on the more central district ^ ot
Qasim, where the towns of 'Anaizah and Buraidah are the principal
markets. 'Anaizah, supplied principally by the Qahtan furnishes as
a rule animals of higher caste, while at Buraidah, provided chiefly by the
Mutair, the number of animals is usually larger.
The horses of 'Iraq have a high reputation and the supply of them
is considerable, but they are not equal to those of Na^d; some realy
good horses are bred, however, in the neighbourhood of Hillah and
Diwanivah, and the horses of the Bani Lam tribe, to the east of the
Tigris/are reputed excellent. A certain number of passable ndmg
horses are available at Baghdad.
Horses, in some cases of fairly good quality, exist m considerable
numbers in'Arabistan; nearly all are mares, as colts are intentionally
destroyed. In the districts of the Persian Coast horses are found, but
not in the same excellence or abundance as in Arabia; statistics aie not
available except for the following districts
