Starting in 1864 the Italian Government had sent emissaries in Syria and Mesopotamia to purchase desert bred horses directly from Bedouin tribes. Numerous stallions and mares were purchased and brought back to Sicily, many being destined to the Royal Remount Station in Catania. Thus the breeding of desert bred horses in Italy pre-date the stud of Lady Anne Blunt and Crabbet Park. Furthermore the PSO had the backing of the Italian Government from the get go. | |||

Height is between 1.45 m and 1.55 m (14.1 to 15.1 hands), with some specimens reaching 1.60 m (15.3 hands). Its coat It is therefore similar to a Shagya or a Tersk horse.
