Own a Chaar Foal
Your monthly support keeps the herd alive through every season.
Commit to monthly payments over four years, and at the end of year four, you receive a newborn Chaar filly. Your contributions fund the breeding programme that makes her possible. She is born because of you. There is nothing else quite like this.
How the program works:
Winter Food For 80 + Chaar Horses
During the winter as food is scarce, we supplement the diet of the horses with extra grain and foliage. Each year, as the herd grows, so does the budget to secure food for the entire winter. The mares especially need support in order to grow healthy foals for the spring season.
Routine Veterinary Care, Vaccinations and Emergencies for 80 + Horses
Every horse in the herd is regularly vaccinated, dewormed, and monitored throughout the year. Our local vet makes regular visits to ensure the health of the breeding stock, with emergency care available when needed. As the herd grows, so does the cost of keeping every animal in strong health.
Purchase New Equipment for the Farm
We are always fundraising to purchase new machinery such as new trucks for transportation, and grain storage facilities.
Improved equipment is a huge priority for the project as it saves our small team precious time and money on required daily tasks.
Salaries for Local Horsemen, `Vet and Project Leader
Our local Kyrgz team is the heart of the operation and works tirelessly to protect our current horse herds year round. They work alongside the international volunteers to promote the project worldwide, and are hosts when visitors come to the farm in Kyrgyzstan and during the annual Chaar Expedition.
Why this matters
A living link to nomadic history
The Chaar horse is one of the rarest breeds in the world — a direct descendant of the spotted horses that carried Kyrgyz nomads across Central Asia for centuries. Once nearly extinct, the herd is being rebuilt one foal at a time. Our goal is 130 Chaar horses by 2029. Every participant in this programme makes that number closer to reality.
By joining, you are not just receiving a horse. You are actively rebuilding a lineage.
“What I love most is the flexibility. I can go at my own pace, revisit lessons, and keep learning whenever it works for me.”

The team behind the project
Munarbek has dedicated more than a decade to rebuilding the Chaar horse from near extinction. He manages the herds year-round in Kyrgyzstan — through harsh winters, foaling seasons, and the slow, careful work of genetic preservation. Your monthly support goes directly to him and his team. This is not a large NGO. It is a small, committed group of people doing extraordinary work with limited resources.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Your monthly contribution funds the day-to-day running of the Chaar herd — winter feed and grain, routine veterinary care and vaccinations, herdsman wages, and the infrastructure needed to keep 75+ horses healthy through harsh Kyrgyz winters and summer migrations. Without consistent funding, the breeding programme cannot run. Your payments are what make the next foal possible.
-
No. When your filly is born in year four, you have a choice. You can arrange transport to bring her home to your country, or you can choose to leave her with the herd in Kyrgyzstan. Many participants choose to keep her in Kyrgyzstan, where she continues to contribute to the breeding programme — and they visit her on the annual expedition. Either way, she is yours.
-
We understand that circumstances can change. Please contact us as early as possible if you need to pause or stop contributions. Since the foal is bred in year four as part of your specific contribution cycle, early withdrawal would mean the foal cannot be bred as planned. We will discuss options on a case-by-case basis.
-
Your filly is born in year four of the programme — the breeding is timed so that she arrives toward the end of your contribution cycle. Munarbek will keep you informed as the breeding approaches and you will know when to expect her.
-
Yes. Members of the breeding program are added to our existing Whatsapp group and receive regular updates from Kyrgyzstan — foal news, herd updates, and seasonal news from Munarbek and the team. Members of the breeding program are very welcome to visit the ranch and see the work happening up close.
