 The
Anglo-Kabarda breed was created in the northern regions of Caucasus in
Russia by crossing Kabarda mares with Thoroughbred stallions at the
Malokarachaevski and Malkin studs. The bay stallions
Lestorik (1939) and Lukki (1939) and the dark bay stallion Lok-Sen (1923) were
of particular importance in development of the breed, as
the Thoroughbred breeding comprises from 25 to 75
percent in the present day Anglo-Kabarda breed.
 Anglo-Kabarda horses are well suited to the climate of the Caucasus, thriving
at pasture the year round and are able to negotiate difficult mountain terrain
skillfully. At the same time, they are much larger and faster than the purebred
Kabarda, and the conformation is more like that of the Thoroughbred. The
Anglo-Kabarda horses participate at national and Olympic events and are used as
saddle mounts on farms of the northern Caucasus.
