Why are Somali horses so short?

They need to learn to breed properly wallahi.The once great Arabian horses we Reer woqoyi had turned into fucking donkeys.

[CrazyWadaad]

Is he riding horse or a donkey?

 

[Game]

LooL midget horses.

 

[Game]

I think they were crossbred with donkeys.

It's Impossible that every horse was crossbreed with donkeys since they would end up infertile.Somalis just don't know the art of breeding and taking care of them properly

 

[blood]

it is something to do with the inviroment,Somali horses are no longer used in the battle fields so their height is not important.
This is the Banadir Horse that is native To south Somalia around the Shabelle.

These Horses Multiply in abundance in a tropical rainy inviroment

They are a different breed. The ones in Sanaag are called the Sunari breed.
My uncles own a couple of stallions and a dozen mares.

Waxaa Fara-xumeeyen Somaliland that is why. Bwahaha,..

 

[Gilgamesh]

The arabs,europeans,asian and basically every other horse riding people selectively bred larger, faster, and stronger horse for their wars and transportation over the centuries....As opposed to Somalis who don't really use horses for war

@CrazyWadaad
Your subclan the Jibril abokrs are known for their skilled horse riding btw, that's why you find loads of them in Wajale and Gabiley...their horse riding was praised and mentioned in some book by richard burton or some other guy

 

[Mckenzie]

Search wild horses you'll see big untamed black stallions wandering in the wilderness

 

[Liibaan]

I think it's a breed or perhaps lack of proper diet has made them evolve into such. I don't know.

The most impressive horses I have seen are those in beer commercials, like Busch. Those things are titans.

Mesmerizing creatures indeed, subxanAllah.

Arabs would take the selective breeding of camels and horses very seriously. They'd even keep records of the genealogies of these animals.

Somalis loved Camels and Horses more then the Arabs.Somalis used to make special poems for Horses and were willing to do anything to keep it fed since they were important for raiding neighbouring tribes.

Those horses look like an overgrown pony. But they're cute.

On the other hand, the Somali Dromedary Camel is the largest breed of its kind.

Horses have less economic value in Somalia and weren't bred for size while camels were.

Actually, it's the Australian feral camel.

Nope. It is the one found primarily in Northern Kenya and Southern Somalia. Look it up.
