New Kirgiz

When farms in Russia crossed local horses of the Thoroughbred and the Don, they ended up with the breed called New Kirgiz.  This breed is adapted to highland conditions, and are most often used for meat, milk production and stock work.  New Kirgiz has short legs and a strong constition.  They look much like Don horses.

The New Kirgiz breed stallions are about 156 cm in height at the withers, and a body length of 158 cm.  Mares of the breed are slightly smaller in all measurements.  Their heads are medium sized and have low necks, their backs are straight and level with very muscled croups.

There are three types within the breed, New Kirgiz.  There is a saddle type, a thick and massive type and a standard type.

There are over 56,000 New Kirgiz.
