Baluchi

Found in areas of Multan, Dera Ghazi Khan, Sind, Muzaffargarh, Bahawalpur, and Baluchistan, the Baluchi Horse, is typically put to use for tonga pulling, tent pegging, and riding for pleasure.

Characteristics include a gray, chestnut, or bay color, along with strong, fine legs and touching pointed ear tips, as well as a long neck and fine heard. Generally, the characteristics of the Baluchi horse will depict where they derive from. For example, the horses in Pakistan are typically larger, yet with a lighter build. Because they have ears that are turned in, people typically find them similar to the Indian Kathiawari. The Baluchi Horse is a possible descendant of the Banamba, Beledougou, and the Barb of West Africa.
