Adaev horse

Country Of Origin	Kazakhstan
History and Background	The Adaev, a horse originally from the steppes of Kazakhstan, is part of the larger Kazakh horse breed, which can be traced back to 5,000 B.C. The Adaev was found to be a good specimen for out-crossing so it was used extensively to improve the Jabe stock, another common Kazakh breed. Unfortunately, this led to the near-decimation of the pure Adaev breed. In 1985, breeders gathered 27,000 Adaev horses to restore the breed's numbers. Once the stock recovered sufficiently, their focus turned towards improving the breed, specifically its height and physical form, while enhancing its hardiness. Various methods were used to achieve this, including crossbreeding with various other breeds: the Orlov Trotter, Don and even the Thoroughbred. Naturally, the breeders involved in this endeavor kept scrupulous records of each individual horse’s pedigree. They also experimented extensively to find additional sources of food for the Adaev. No longer rare, the modern Adaev horse is used for riding as well as for milk production. There are three types of Adaev 1. Massive – The most important type & the most aggressively bred. Well-proportioned with a massive frame. 2. Medium – Smaller, these animals have Don or Trotter influence & are robust riding horses. 3. Light – Specifically saddle horses with easy gaits & noble appearance. Often influenced by Alkal-Teke blood. The Adaev, short for Aedaevskaya, is a common horse breed best suited riding and labor on small farms. The modern Adaev, however, has found its niche in milk production.
