The
Anglo-Kabarda breed was created in the northern regions of Caucasus
in Russia by crossing Kabarda mares with Thoroughbred stallions
at the Malokarachaevski and Malkin studs. The bay stallions Lestorik
(1939) and Lukki (1939) and the dark bay stallion Lok-Sen (1923)
were of particular importance in development of the breed, as the
Thoroughbred breeding comprises from 25 to 75 percent in the present
day Anglo-Kabarda breed.
Anglo-Kabarda
horses are well suited to the climate of the Caucasus, thriving
at pasture the year round and are able to negotiate difficult mountain
terrain skillfully. At the same time, they are much larger and faster
than the purebred Kabarda, and the conformation is more like that
of the Thoroughbred. The Anglo-Kabarda horses participate at national
and Olympic events and are used as saddle mounts on farms of the
northern Caucasus.
