Bornou White Race of Africa

Found toward central Northern Africa, this race unites the qualities of the Arabian with the beauty of the Barb. One individual stood fully fifteen hands, short of body, with a robust upper arm and beautiful limbs and feet, though the head sat ungracefully and the eyes were small; greyish white with black limbs, it proved so vicious that its owner at length broke its neck.
