Horse owners in northwest Syria are unable to officially register their horses and obtain a stamp confirming that they are purebred Arabian horses, because the activity of the World Arabian Horse Organization in Syria is limited to the government-controlled areas only.
The residents of northwestern Syria are also unable to send their horses to government-controlled areas to register them, for fear that the government forces might steal them. And in case the authorities in control on the ground allow them to send their horses to these areas, the trip would be very expensive.
