- Jabe -

Jabe horses were formed in southern districts of Aktubinsk regions and then spread all over Kazakhstan. Their most important characteristics include a rugged head, thick neck, wide body, and deep chest. The back is straight and the croup well muscled. Legs are set correctly and are sufficiently strong. The skin is thick and dense; hair covering is rather good. Color is bay, dark bay or red, occasionally grayish or grey. The Jabe is a differentiation of the Kazakh horse, along with the Adaev type. It is, essentially, not its own breed, but rather a strain of a breed.
