Characteristics

They usually stand close to 13.three hands high but show wide variability in coloration, size and conformation.

The breed's coat is generally quick and harsh, but one of a kind in that it displays lots of 'rosettes' and ridges, and also commonly grows a moustache about its nose. Numerous breeders, in particular those in England, have worked to increase this rosette pattern. Due to the fact the hair grows in a great number of directions, it can be hard to brush, and wonderful care must be taken to keep the coat clean and no cost of dirt. Most are green eyed, on account of uncommon genes.[1]

[edit] Breed background

The Abyssinian has spread from Ethiopia along the coastline of the Red Sea. The breed was initial exported to England in 1861. Abyssinian horses also reside in Sudan.
