The Arabian Horse in Australia: From Foundation Stock to Present Day Breeding presents a definitive historical and technical account of Arabian horse development across the continent. This specialist reference work chronicles the breed’s arrival through early colonial imports, details the influence of key bloodlines such as Crabbet and Egyptian, and illustrates the evolution of breeding practices under the stewardship of the Arabian Horse Society of Australia. Smith instructs readers in pedigree analysis, stud management, and conformation standards, while documenting the contributions of prominent breeders and sires. Richly illustrated with photographs and archival material, the book argues for the Arabian’s enduring role in shaping Australia’s equine heritage. It remains an essential resource for breeders, historians, and collectors invested in the purity and prestige of the Arabian lineage.
