The Chaar horse represents both the heritage and richness of the Kyrgyz culture. Thanks to the support of a local association "Chaar Appaloosa Kyrgyzstan" we are working towards the restoration of the Chaar horse through a breeding program that is part of an ecological approach to preserve biodiversity of our planet.

Protecting indigenous chaar horses is important for several reasons:

1. Biodiversity: Indigenous kyrgyz chaar horse breed possess unique genetic traits that have adapted to specific local environments over centuries. Preserving these breed helps maintain biodiversity within the equine population.

2. Cultural, nomadic heritage: Indigenous chaar horses are deeply intertwined with the cultural identity and heritage of local communities. They play significant roles in traditional ceremonies, rituals, horsemanship and historical practices, serving as symbols of cultural continuity and pride.

3. Environmental sustainability: Indigenous horse breeds are well-adapted to their native ecosystems, requiring less intensive management and veterinary care compared to imported breeds. They can contribute to sustainable agricultural practices and land management, particularly in regions where they have co-evolved with local landscapes.

4. Livelihoods and economies: Indigenous horses can be essential for the livelihoods of local communities, serving as working animals for transportation, agriculture, and tourism-related activities. Protecting these breed supports the economic sustainability of rural areas and traditional livestock husbandry practices.

5. Genetic resources: Indigenous chaar horse breed may possess valuable genetic traits, such as disease resistance, endurance, and adaptability, which can be beneficial for breeding programs aimed at improving the overall health and performance of horse populations worldwide.
