A light riding horse from Afghanistan, the Samand Horse is not a breed, but rather a type of horse found in the country. This type is known for their incredible speed.
\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. The word Samand means ‘racehorse’ in Persian, but the Afghan also use the word to describe a chestnut<\/a> horse (although we didn’t find chestnut on the list of traditional colors). <\/p>\n Average height 14-14.3 hands Head has straight profile Generally grey<\/a>, but also found in black<\/a>, bay<\/a> and brown<\/a>, often with black leg markings<\/a> <\/p>\n Fast and strong Transportation Intro A light riding horse from Afghanistan, the Samand Horse is not a breed, but rather a type of horse found in the country.
