The Barb ~ A Great Name for a horse. One of the original mustages.
The Barbary horse originated in northwestern Africa, in what is now Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. Historically Barbs have been prized for their endurance and quick bursts of speed. They were imported and bred for racing and hunting throughout Europe. The pure Barb stands approximately 15 hands high, with flat shoulders, low tail and a "ram shaped head". Able to carry large loads and subsist on poor forage, they make ideal military mount.
