Unmol Horse

Country Of Origin Pakistan
History and Background The Unmol is an incredibly rare breed that comes from the northwest Punjab in Pakistan. Their name translates to “priceless” which makes clear how important these animals were to the local people.
Legend has it that Unmol horses were brought to the Punjab by Alexander the Great which means they probably have Turkoman roots.
Although efforts have been made to preserve this breed, it is doubtful if there are any of pure blood remaining. Some claim to still have Unmol horses, however chances are they are not of pure blood and have Arabian genetics in their lineage as well.
In 1995 its conservation status was listed by the FAO as "critical" and the breed was described as "nearly extinct".
There are 4 different families of this breed, all of which are referred to as Unmol horses, Harna, Hazziz, Morna and Sheehan.
There are or were a small number in India.
