Did ya ever notice there are NO Arabian horses in the movie ‘Lawrence of Arabia’? Or ‘Kingdom of Heaven’, for that matter. Antonio Banderas rides one in ‘The 13th Warrior’ but you’ve got to watch some short takes in slo-mo to spot the tell-tale characteristics.
Guy Pearce has an Arabian in ‘The Convert’ but all it’s ever called is “a horse.” The fact that it’s an Arabian plays no role whatsoever in the plot.
Auda abu Tayi’s prize white stallion wasn’t an Arabian?
My stable friends and I went to see The Black Stallion movie way back in the day and were quite amused how the Arabian horse turned into a Thoroughbred once he stepped onto a race track.
