With the exception of the Yabou, the Goklan horse is the heaviest descendant of the old Turanian horse that was bred by the Goklan Turkoman that border Iran. This is a mountainous region, so these animals were well-suited for difficult footing.
Origins
The Goklan breed shows characteristics of both Arabian and Akhal-Teke animals, however the mountains bred size into them and physically they resemble a robust Thoroughbred. They are not listed in the DAD-IS as a breed, so they may be considered a type of Turanian descendant.
