The Gazal or Ghazal is a saddle horse from Bosnia and Herzegovina and like much of horseflesh in this country, it’s not actually a breed. However, unlike other animals the Gazal isn’t related to the Bosnian Mountain, but a strain of purebred Arabian specific to the country. Used mainly to improve other breeds.
