Prized mount

I believe the answer is:

arab

(Other definitions for arab that I've seen before include "Saudi, perhaps - breed of horse" , "One from the Middle East, say" , "Small riding horse" , "Person from the Middle East, say" , "One from the Middle East or North Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
