The only bask I know of of the top of my head was imported I think from poland around the mid 50's, arabain horses have been around for about 5000 years, and have been bred and raised by the ppl of the dessert. While a decent of the polish bask is a much sort after heritage in horse circles.. i do not think bask was the original.
It has been years since I had anything to do with breeding horses so I am out of the mix so to speak I may be wrong.
