حظيت الخيل العربية، نتيجة لتعدد خواصها وتميزها عن غيرها من الحيوانات، باهتمام العرب من قديم الزمان فاستأنسوا وعنوا بتربيتها وتعلموا ركوبها وحافظوا على أصالة أنسابها وعراقة أنسالها . ولما جاء الإسلام وبين فضل الخيل العربية على سواها من الخيل زاد إقبال العرب المسلمين واهتمامهم بها وشغفوا بحبها وأولعوا بتربيتها وترويضها وحسنوا أنسالها وسعوا لإنتاج المزيد منها ؛ فازدهرت تجارتها وارتفعت أثمانها وتعددت مراكز إنتاجها .
