Origins
Also called Tushuri and Tushinskaya, the Tushin breed comes from the eastern regions of Georgia and is a very rare saddle breed today. They are tough, hardy animals capable of covering long distances as easily as they handle cattle.
This breed comes from ancient Georgian horses, but were strongly influenced by a number of eastern breeds.
