Since Arabians are supposed to average between 14 to 15 hands I am thinking 
Becky is on the right track. They have maintain this size for over 3000 years 
and in the last 50 yrs people are trying to change that. I believe one of the 
reasons Arabians are natural born endurance horses is because they a smaller 
in stature and big on heart. Taller horses break down faster than smaller, 
again have you noticed that wild horses are always smaller?
