Description: part of the European Horse Pack
The Yabou (sometimes spelled "yaboo") is the pack horse of the peoples on the Turkoman steppes. Some older references use "Yabou" in terms of "the horse of the people, a pack horse, a nag," but the Yabou is much more than that. The Yabou is every bit as hardy and enduring as the other Turkoman strains, and differs from them only slightly. There is a copious mane to go with the generous tail. The neck is set on lower than that of the Teke, Yamout or Goklan. The horse is somewhat less narrow than other Turkomans, and typically shorter. The shoulders especially are powerful. All in all, this is a horse built to carry weight over a distance, at speed. (Sometimes his job was to run behind the Turkomen horses, carrying their heavy felts). He often ambles and paces with fantastic speed.

Preliminary blood test results performed at the University of Kentucky show that the English Thoroughbred is more closely related to the Yabou than to either the other Turkoman breeds/strains or the Arabian in terms of shared genetic markers. That this ubiquitous "utility" horse would have a closer association to the Thoroughbred than other "thoroughbred" horses has come as somewhat of a surprise, but perhaps it should not. From the photo above (taken by Farshad Maloufi and used here with his permission), one can see that the Yabou is not at all lacking in quality.

The Yabou comes in the complete range of colors found in the Turkoman and Caspian horse.

The Turkoman do not breed Yabous themselves, although they use them extensively for pack horses. Rather, they buy them from gypsies who live in the more forested areas of the mountains. The Yabou probably always shared the range of the Turanian Thoroughbred, and was much more numerous; the Pazyryk kurgans each contain only a single Turanian but as many as a dozen or more Yabous.

White Yabou Horse

The Yabou (sometimes spelled "yaboo") is the pack horse of the peoples on the
Turkoman steppes. Some older references use "Yabou" in terms of "the horse of
the people, a pack horse, a nag," but the Yabou is much more than that. The
Yabou is every bit as hardy and enduring as the other Turkoman strains, and
differs from them only slightly. There is a copious mane to go with the
generous tail. The neck is set on lower than that of the Teke, Yamout or
Goklan. The horse is somewhat less narrow than other Turkomans, and typically
shorter. The shoulders especially are powerful. All in all, this is a horse
