Another episode of our Horse Breeds around the World Series. Today we talk about a rare breed of horses both in its homeland as well as in the world: The Karabagh Horse from the tiny region of Berg-Karabagh between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In the 1990s a few of these horses found their way to Germany and inspired Verena Scholian who unknowingly bought the Karabagh stallion Inturist. Out of interest she became an expert and founded the IG Karabagh, a breed association in Germany. Her goal is to help promote the breed and forward the cooperation of the few breeders and owners of Karabagh horses in Europe. I was lucky enough to interview her and hear her amazing story.
