Hequ Horses
The Hequ Horse is a strong, ancient variety of horse originating in
central China. For over a thousand years, Hequ Horses have been a
sought-after and multi-talented breed, useful for riding, sport events,
as well as heavy work and farm work. Hequ Horses are renowned for
being tough and versatile, a well-rounded animal for whatever your
purpose. Hequ Horses are also known for being tireless, massive,
and reliable. Since the breed originates from a high-altitude
region of China, Hequ Horses are adapted with superior strength and
endurance to undergo the rigors of hard work in the thinner atmosphere
of the high region in which they were bred.
The color of a Hequ Horse ranges from black to gray
to brown, and there are several different varieties among Hequ Horses,
including the Kesheng, Jiaode, and Suoke. Suoke and Kesheng tend
to be stronger than Jiaode, and larger, with more color variation as
well.
