I’ve been enjoying my theoretical trip around the world to visit the horse breeds of each country. I’ve researched over 600 breeds of horse and it’s interesting to look at each one in the context of their origins. Today we take a look at the breeds of Azerbaijan.
Interesting Fact
The climate of Azerbaijan is rather unique as the country is home to nine of the eleven climactic zones found on the planet. This is also a mountainous country and one that breeds tough little mountain horses. Most of the animals from Azerbaijan have Arabian roots. However, the unique climate and varied terrain has evolved the Arabian into an animal more suited to the geography.
Family Favorite
Most horse people can recognize Arabian characteristics, that dished profile, high set tail and regal bearing is unmistakable. The breeds of this intensely varied place display the Arabian characteristics in varying degrees, based on how old (or rare) the breed is.
