These works by Raswan and Seydel are considered classics in the literature on the Arabian horse. Both authors were able to gather their experiences at a time when the Bedouins, who lived by ancient traditions, and their breeding of the often legendary desert horse in Arabia Deserta still existed. They were able to collect insights on-site and draw conclusions from the multitude of observations that other authors still benefit from today. In particular, the German Carl R. Raswan has made significant contributions to the Arabian horse in the Western world through his activities and publications like few others.
