Country Of Origin | Pakistan |
History and Background | Easy to identify because of their turned in ears (similar to those of the Marwari horse), the Baluchi horse is native to Pakistan. Thought to be of Barb descent, this breed is known for its strength, endurance and fine confirmation. Today the bloodlines have been diluted to the point there are very few of pure lineage, making this an incredibly rare breed. |
Use Today | Pleasure riding horse, Cart horse, Sport horse |
Height | 14 hands (56 inches, 142 centimeters) |
Colour | Bay, Black, Grey |
Characteristics | They are light in build and generally have a fine head, long neck, strong but fine legs and ears that curve in so the tips of the ears touch. The Baluchi somewhat resembles the Indian Kathiawari breed. They are also thought to be related to the Barb through the Malian breed known as the Beledougou or Banamba. Due to diluted bloodlines, horses of pure Baluchi lineage are extremely rare today. |
