The way of a horse's going is the truth of him.

In order to truly understand the Arabian horse, you must first understand its origins.  Following are some of the books in the bpe Library, listed alphabetically by title (I omit the word "The" from the title when in the first position, otherwise most would start with the same word). All have been invaluable in my research into not just the Nafa'a bloodlines, but the heritage and legacy of our Arabian horses.  I encourage you to look beyond the pedigree and explore the rich and colorful history that forms the foundation of the world's most remarkable animals.  Of course, following the library list is the "Wish List," containing the books I wish I owned, mostly unavailable due to scarcity or price (biblioaddicts love first editions). I offer these lists as a guide for researchers and welcome suggestions for additional material.
