Over the summer I read a biography on Jane Digby. She was the ultimate rebel, way before it was cool, spending the later part of her life split between Damascus and the Syrian desert with her sheik husband . Initially she went to Syria for a little adventure and to find a new horse. Obviously her plans changed, but what a great idea! If I was to ever buy a horse, I'd want to go to Syria (hitting Damascus, Palmyra and Beirut, Lebanon) and get a dappled Arabian from an actual Arabic person.
But then I'd outfit it with Moroccan-style gear, because it's just so awesome.
