The Anglo-Karachi is very similar to the Anglo-Kabarda horse that was featured last week. They are the result of a cross between Thoroughbred and Karachi bloodlines, and to be registered a mix must be at least 25% and no more than 75% Thoroughbred blood.
Origins
The Karachi is a type of Kabarda horse that is bred specifically in the Karachi Republic and tend to be the most robust of the breed. Their differences spurred a breed registry split from the Kabarda breed in the 1960’s.
Similar to the Kabarda, Thoroughbred blood was added in the hopes of creating a larger, more refined animal that was still tough enough to thrive under difficult living conditions. Breeding unofficially started late in the 19th century using English, German & French Thoroughbreds and breeding then to select Karachi animals.
Not Much Out There
As with many of the smaller, less documented breeds (in English anyway) I could find very little about the Anglo-Karachi. If you know about the breed or have pictures, I’d love to hear from you.
