History

Been found in the mountains of Azerbaidzhan since the 5th century. Karabakh has close links to Akhal-Teke, bred in Turkmenistan, Central Asia and the Turkoman Horse bred in Iran. Some historians believe that in ancient times these horses were of the same strain and had significant influence in developing of the Arabian breed. Some historical sources mention that during Arab invasion of Azerbaijan in 8th-9th centuries tens of thousands of horses with golden-chestnut coloring, which is characteristic colors for Karabakhs, were taken by the conquerors. The breed got its ultimate shapes and characteristics in 18th-19th centuries during Karabakh khanate. There is some evidence that Karabakh ruler Ibrahim-Khalil khan (1763-1806) possessed a horse herd numbering 3,000-4,000, mostly of Karabakh breed. From 19th century this horse breed became increasingly popular in Europe. Thus, in one of the first massive sales in 1823, an English company purchased 60 pure Karabakh mares from Mehdi-Kulu khan, the last ruler of the Karabakh khanate. Karabakh numbers were initially hurt in 1826 during Russo-Iranian war, but the breed remained intact.
