The Kabardian horse breed is a breed from Caucasus, currently part of Russia. Historically the breed has been known for at least 400 years, but its origins are considered to be as old as Hittite civilisation. These horses are noted for their endurance and ease to adapt in difficult environments. They are low demanding horses with an average size of 155 cm, muscular, with hard hoof and stable character.The number of Kabardian horses was estimated to be around 200,000 in the middle of the 19th century but has been reduced dramatically by the Russian revolution and then perestroika.
Currently the breed is being reconstructed by private breeders in Russia and Europe. Nowadays Kabardians are getting popularity in endurance riding, touristic and recreational riding.
