About the Anglo-Kabarda Breed .These horses are bred and developed in the
Stavropol region and the Kabardin Republic (North Caucasus)
of the former U.S.S.R, as the result of crossing English Thoroughbred
stallions with Kabarda mares. This breed, which shows some quality
and is of good conformation, is capable of extreme endurance.
Having very good action, the Kabarda was considered superior
to all mountain riding horses, and the crossing with Thoroughbreds
was done to improve the breed. The resulting Anglo-Kabarda,
a strongly built horse standing about 15 hands, is now used
to improve other breeds, which abound in large numbers in this
vast area of the Caucasus. It enjoys an excellent reputation.
