The Insti­tute brings together existing orga­ni­za­tions and conser­va­tion efforts that can benefit from the Institute’s global perspec­tive and network of contacts throughout the Arabian horse commu­nity. It offers new oppor­tu­ni­ties for coalition-​​building and collab­o­ra­tive projects that go beyond tradi­tional blood­line, geograph­ical, and cultural parameters.

What has been done in the past by isolated, insular orga­ni­za­tions and conser­va­tion efforts is neces­sary but not suffi­cient. To assure the future of the Desert Arabian horse, we need not all think alike, but we must think and act together.

The Insti­tute has worked with acad­emic insti­tu­tions, orga­ni­za­tions, and informal groups in its research, educa­tion, and conser­va­tion activ­i­ties, including:

• Baylor Univer­sity, Texas
• Michigan State University
• Univer­sity of Cali­fornia, Davis
• Virginia Coop­er­a­tive Extension
• Arabian Horse Asso­ci­a­tion of Arizona
• Arabian Horse Foundation
• Asil Club
• Babson Influ­ence Group
• Blue Catalog, Inc.
• Heir­loom Research Group
• The Pyramid Foundation
• Wisconsin Egyptian Arabian Horse Association
