Source(Google.com)

Arabian horse, breed of light horse developed in Mesopotamia and N Africa, and probably the first true domesticated breed. Prized since earliest times for its superior beauty, spirit, speed, grace of movement, stamina, and intelligence, the Arabian has served as parental stock for such light-weight horses as the American saddlebred horse, quarter horse, Standardbred horse, and the Thoroughbred. Intercrossings of these and other light and draft horse breeds with Arabians is still common. The Arabian's most characteristic color is bay with white markings; grays, chestnuts, and browns are also common. It averages 14 to 15 hands (56–60 in./140–150 cm) high and weighs about 1,000 lb (450 kg).
Harmony Acres was established in 1981 as a small equine breeding farm. During this time, Harmony Acres has produced 40 Arabian and 3 Standard bred foals.
The Amazing Tarifa was the first pure-bred Arabian foal born at the farm. Tarifa was raised with love and training but did not experience imprint training or the desensitization that second born Diamond and later foals would recieve. Tarifa was shown on the Class A Arabian Horse Show circuit extensively during his first five years as a stallion. As a yearling, Tarifa won 1st prize out of his class of 76 nominated yearling colts at the Arabian Horse Association of Michigan Futurity. He also won Western Pleasure and Native Costume Classes when he matured and showed in performance classes.
In addition to Parade Training, Tarifa, Diamond, and Sadefa have also been trained in Search and Rescue, trail riding, and as Therapy Mounts since 1995. They have been safe mounts for blind children and thoes in leg braces out of wheel chairs in the 4-H Program, Proud Equestrians. The big smiles seen from these children reflect the joy of independence and control horseback riding gives to them.
Tarifa and Diamond have been involved for several years in demonstration clinics on Parade Training, De-spooking Techniques, Trail Training, Trick Training. and for Parade Fashion Shows and Spotlight on Michigan Horses at the North American Horse Spectacular, in Novi MI, and The International Stallion Exposition and Trade Show at the MSU Horse Pavilion in Lansing, MI. .
Tarifa now has an extensive library of over sixty tricks based on the four commands: "KICK IT", "GET IT", "SHAKE IT", and "PUSH IT"
