\n<\/p>\n
Unfortunately there are no official studbooks or centralized breeding programs in Afghanistan. While the country cherishes a long and distinguished equine culture, information about the animals is difficult to find. There are not specific breeds in the country, but more types that all fall under the broad category of Afghan horses. This type is found in the former province of Qataghan (or Kataghan) from which it takes its name. <\/p>\n
