My Quest Of The Arab Horse is a book written by Homer Davenport in 1909, which chronicles his journey through the Arabian Peninsula in search of the perfect Arabian horse. The book is a fascinating account of Davenport’s travels, which took him across the deserts of Arabia, through the bustling cities of Damascus and Baghdad, and into the heart of the Bedouin tribes that were the guardians of the Arabian horse.Throughout the book, Davenport provides a detailed description of the Arabian horse and its unique characteristics, as well as the history and culture of the Bedouin people who have bred and raised these horses for centuries. He also shares his experiences of negotiating with the Bedouin tribes and the challenges he faced in trying to acquire the best Arabian horses.The book is a testament to Davenport’s passion for the Arabian horse, and his determination to bring these magnificent animals to America.
