Origins<\/h3>\n
These ancient origins led to a long relationship with mankind and the Adaev have been bred for a variety of needs. Their stock is old and solid, making it a good candidate for enhancing other breeds, including the Jabe<\/a> (another Kazakh breed).<\/p>\n In the 1980’s the breed was revived due to increased interest in preserving the bloodlines. Breeders gathered thousands of animals in an attempt at preservation. Once numbers had grown, the focus changed to improving breed stock by making it larger and more robust. This led to dilution of the original Kazakh blood with a mix of Don<\/a>, Thoroughbred<\/a> and Orlov Trotter<\/a> blood for refinement. <\/p>\n The resulting animal was lighter in stature, but not nearly as well suited for the harsh environment as other Kazakh<\/a> horses. No longer a rare breed, the modern Adaev is meticulously managed and meets demand as a producer of milk. However, considering their ancient lineage, a pure Adaev is very rare today.<\/p>\n Average height 13 – 14.1 hands<\/p>\n There are three types of Adaev<\/strong> Massive<\/strong> Medium & Light <\/strong>The Modern Adaev<\/h3>\n
