Al Khamsa

Al Khamsa, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization of enthusiasts dedicated to preserving the Bedouin Arabian horse and its heritage. The organization focuses on Arabian horses in North America that trace to desert-bred ancestors without admixture, and works to support the continuation of the Bedouin horse. Its horses represent a small share of the region’s registered Arabian population, yet they participate in sport, endurance, competitive trail riding, and show events, and may also serve as working ranch horses and companions.

Al Khamsa provides educational resources about Arabia, Bedouin horses, Al Khamsa Arabians, ancestral elements, and preservation. Its complimentary online roster offers pedigree and breeder information, including strains and progeny lists. The organization also publishes Khamsat magazine and other materials, and offers educational videos, articles, and reference resources. Visitors can explore farm listings, horses for sale or wanted, and stallions at stud. Al Khamsa further supports preservation through genetic-diversity information, events, an annual convention, and opportunities to subscribe, donate, or otherwise help its work.
