It has been said that horses in Arabia
go through a rigorous selection process. To live in this
hot, desert climate, one depends on the unfailing obedience
and loyalty of his horse. The horses are tested in order
to select the very best.
For one of the tests, the horses are worked hard for three
days with no food and very little water. At the end of
the three days they are placed next to a corral where
there are troughs of clear water and hay. The horses,
thirsty and fatigued, see the food and water and strain
against the gates.
