Kabardin Horse

Kabardin Horse

The Kabarda or Kabardin horse is a breed from the Caucasus, currently part of the Kabardino-Balkaria region of Russia. Historically the breed has been known for at least 400 years, but its origins are probably as old as the Hittite civilization. These horses are noted for their endurance and ease to adapt in difficult environments.

Mountain horses bred in the North Caucasus are gentle and sure-footed, with the ability to find their way and direction in fog and darkness. They are very hard-working and are known for their endurance over long distances.
