Iomud

The Iomud tribe in Turkmenia developed the Iomud horse breed.  The Iomud horses are mainly kept in herds in both the semi desert and the full desert.

Iomud horses feature a large head, a medium length neck, and a sparse mane.  Their tail is also quite sparse.  Most Iomud horses are chestnut or grey, with a few that are golden chestnut or black colored. 

The horses of the Iomud breed live for a long time, although the purebred population has been decreasing substantially.  In 1983, stud farms intended to preserve the Iomud breed were created in Turkmenia.  There are currently about 150 Iomud's remaining.
