Abaga horse

Characterized by its generally black coat, it is also larger and faster than the latter, due to its selection for racing.

[9] According to the Delachaux guide, its average height is 1.36 m to 1.40 m.[5] The head is straight or slightly convex, with a broad forehead, large eyes and small ears.

[5] They are extremely hardy, enabling them to live outdoors, on high plateaus, all year round, at low temperatures, with little rainfall, and in a hypoxic environment.

[6] The Abaga is primarily a racehorse, whose speed was measured over 1,600 meters by the Chinese Animal Genetic Resources Commission in 2011.

[10] It seems that this speed is the result of selective breeding, which favors certain characteristics such as heart and muscle development.
