Turkoman horse

The Turkoman horse, or Turkmene, is an Oriental horse breed from the steppes of Central Asia. It influenced many modern horse breeds, including the Thoroughbred horse. Modern descendants include the Akhal-Teke,[1] the Iomud, the Goklan and Nokhorli.[2] The Turkmen is only bred in north-east Iran.[3] There are about 3000 animals. The population is at risk.[4]
