"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

The heads of Arabians have a characteristic seahorse-like dish shape, and they appear readily over the stable wall for a patting or a carrot. The Al Shaqab stables are spotless and nearly odor- and dust-free.
Show Arabians need to have strong muscles and endurance. This lap pool helps with both. Observers can watch the horses from above (view shown) as well as from below, through underwater windows.

At Al Shaqab in Doha, Qatar, science is bringing a new life to the ancient bloodlines of Arabian horses—the breed that carried historical figures such as Alexander the Great , Genghis Khan , Napoleon and George Washington. Purebred Arabian stallions are the finely built and fleet founders of today's racing thoroughbreds .
