Bahri (horse)

Bahri is an Arabic word meaning "of the sea" or "belonging to the sea." In equestrian contexts, "Bahri" can refer to a horse, often an Arabian, possessing a notable dapple gray coat color that resembles the shimmering surface of the sea. The term may also be loosely used to describe a horse of exceptional beauty and spirit, evocative of the wildness and untamed nature of the ocean. While not a breed designation in itself, the term connotes certain desirable qualities associated with Arabian horses, such as elegance, endurance, and a striking appearance. The association with the sea lends a romantic and evocative dimension to the horse's description. It is a descriptive term more commonly found in literature and anecdotal accounts than in formal breed standards or registries.
