„This book presents to Arabian Breeders and to Horse Lovers material which they have asked me for over twenty years to release, namely the gist of my re-search and knowledge which I accumulated about Arabian horses not only among the Bedouin, but also on many visits to Arabian stud farms in Egypt and other parts of the Near East, on the Continent of Europe, in England and in America.“ (Carl R. Raswan)

Both breeders and fans of the Arabian horse still consider Ammon an indispensable standard work. The knowledge compiled in this volume is fundamental to almost every subsequent treatise.
