The Yakutian horse is a rare native horse breed from the Sakha Republic in Russia. The origins of the Yakutian horse are still uncertain, but researchers believe that it is probably one of the oldest breeds in existence. The genetic and immunity markers seem to show similarity with the original breeds of Central Asia, which has led to the theory that the Yakutian horse is not a native of Siberia, but that it was taken there by the ancestors of the Sakha people. Other researchers think that the breed is linked to the Mongolian horse, which also is perfectly feasible. Whatever its origins, one thing is certain: no other breed offers such a stunning example of a prefect adaptation to its environment.
