Lokai Horse

    0.01 sec.
Lokai Horse 

an old saddle and pack breed of horses developed more than 300 years ago by the Uzbek Lokai tribe through long-term improvement of a domestic small breed by selection and crossing with Middle Asian breeds (the Iomut, Achal Teké [Akhaltekinskaia], Karabair, and others); Arabian horses had a great deal of influence in the development of the breed. Lokai horses are small (height of stallions at the withers is 144–152 cm), with a somewhat rugged and strong body build. They are easy to maintain, since they may be pastured in herds year-round. Lokai horses are used as saddle and pack animals. Marked by great strength and endurance, they are well adapted for work. Carrying a load of up to 100 kg, they can travel as far as 60 km per day on mountain roads. The fastest speed for a two-year-old Lokai traveling a distance of 1,600 m is 1 min 56 sec and for a three-year-old 1 min 53.8 sec. This breed is raised in the Tadzhik SSR. The best breeding farm is the Koktash Stud Farm in Leninskii Raion.

Yet another theory is that the gene came from the Lokai horses of the Tajikistan region of Russia which sometimes display the curly coat, but there was no mention of importation of horses in ships'' logs when the Russian settlers arrived in North America.
