Arabian Racing Organisation

Arabian racing is racing involving Arabian horses.

The Arabian horse is recognised worldwide as the purest and oldest of all horse breeds. Hailing from the Middle Eastern deserts its stamina was an invaluable asset, ensuring it could carry its rider at speed across miles of open desert with little food or water.

Today, almost every breed and type of horse has traces of Arab blood and all English Thoroughbreds are descended from three horses: Byerley Turk, Darley Arabian or Godolphin Arabian, which were imported to Britain in the early 1700s.

On the ARO's website you can find a whole range of information on Arabian Racing, from how to register & race your own Arab, to enjoying a day at the races, including a full fixture list
