The Country Breed horse was developed
in Cyprus and its local name is the Kipriakis Ektrofis (hard to
pronounce, huh). Their herdbook was established in 1970 by the Cyprus
Turf Club. These horses are bay, chestnut, or gray, and are used
for racing, pulling things, dressage, and jumping. There are a calculated
1,276 of these horses remaining in the world, so there are no conservation
activities being performed.
