Intro<\/h3>\n

Also called the Iomudskaya and Yamud, the Iomud comes from Turkmenistan and is a descendant of the ancient Turkmenian breed<\/a> that was developed by the Iomud tribe in southern Turkmenia.
\n<\/p>\n

Origins<\/h3>\n

Due to their location this breed was largely influenced by the hardy animals of the steppes as well as Arabian<\/a> blood. Other than a few outside genetics, the Iomud breed has remained relatively pure, however the purebred population started a steady decline in the 20th century. In 1983 a stud farm was set up in Turkmenistan to protect the breed, continue proper breeding practices and grow their numbers. <\/p>\n

Today there are three types of Iomud animals. The large type which is similar in size and stature to the Akhal-Teke<\/a>. The medium type which is the most common and reminiscent of eastern horses crossed with Thoroughbred<\/a> animals. The third is a smaller animal with shorter legs and a robust build, that is of obvious Mongolian<\/a> and Kazakh<\/a> genetics, this is the rarest type. <\/p>\n
