Origins<\/h3>\n

Various bloodlines were used including the Iomud<\/a>, Akhal-Teke<\/a>, Karabair<\/a> and Arabian<\/a>. These are perhaps the shortest in stature of the central Asian breeds and there is not a great deal of physical conformity within the breed. They are actually bred more for their curly hair genetics than any other physical characteristic. <\/p>\n
