Also called the Karabairskaya, the Karabair breed is one of the most ancient breeds originating in central Asia. They were developed in what is now known as Uzbekistan and northern Tajikistan, which are both areas known for breeding high quality horseflesh.

These animals come from southern and steppe breeds, displaying physical characteristics of both distinct types. Since before the times of Jesus Christ, this area has been known for production of solid horses, even documented by the Chinese as a great producer of war horses.<\/p>\n
Today there are three different types of the Karabair breed, basic, heavy and saddle, although in recent years lack of demand for the heavy type has caused their numbers to decline drastically. <\/p>\n
