The Wellesley Arabian was a gray stallion of oriental origin, imported to England in the early 19th century by Henry Wellesley. Its origins are controversial, as the Wellesley Arabian may be Persian, Indian, Syrian or from a country on the African continent. One version was imported from India in August 1803 by Henry Wellesley, brother of the Duke of Wellington. This version probably died in England in 1811.
This horse had only a minor influence on the Thoroughbred breed, producing among its few notable descendants the mare Fair Ellen, dam of an Epsom Oaks winner and runner-up in the 1826 Epsom Derby. Wellesley Arabian was also a source of inspiration for Swiss-born painter Jacques-Laurent Agasse. He was featured in several engravings in the early 19th century.
