Chubara horse color: what color and shades it is, what breeds have it

There are no horses in this world. Their diversity is amazing and makes you admire the perfect beauty of animals again and again. Chubaraya - the original color of the horse. You will never guess what combination of lines and spots Mother Nature has prepared for a frisky horse. Each spotted pet is a unique sight.

Historical information

Fans of blond beauties adhere to the version of the Central Asian origin of animals. It is believed that the horse saw the light as a result of crossing a stallion of a nightingal color and a mare of an unidentified breed.The first mention of an unusual horse can be seen in intricate Chinese drawings. Chubarny horses were depicted on vases made of the finest porcelain. The horse was the object of desire of noble people. It was considered an honor by commanders and rulers of states to buy a tiger-colored horse.

Asian warriors firmly believed that the magical horse makes the owner invulnerable, and treated him like a sacred animal. In addition, it was believed that the bright color of the horse could terrify the opponent.

To the chagrin of experts, the chubar coloring is often called the appaloosa suit, while in Russia this is the name of the breed. The confusion is related to the erroneous translation of textbooks from English into Russian.

Chubary breeds

The original coloration is common to several animal breeds.

1. Altai horse breed. Dark spots densely cover the surface of the animal's body. Occasionally, nature rewards horses with a tiger or leopard color. Under favorable conditions, horses are able to store subcutaneous fat, so they can easily endure frost. Altai mares are champions in milk production.

But a smart, affectionate creature often serves as a guide for people with disabilities. The Falabella is well established as a pet. Representatives of the miniature breed can boast of spotted, bay or roan coloration.
3. Mysterious knabstrupper horse.The pedigree of animals dates back to the 16th century. This is one of the brightest owners of chubar coloring. The light coat of the horse is decorated with catchy dark spots. The peculiarity of coloring gives the horse a funny resemblance to a Dalmatian dog. Knabstruppers are loved and appreciated in the circus world. Thanks to their friendly, accommodating nature and the ability to learn, horses take part in the best circus performances.

6. Mongolian horse. From the legendary ancestors, the horses inherited a short stature (130 cm), a stocky physique and a rough coat structure.These qualities were necessary for survival in the conditions of continuous battles. Almost all representatives of the Mongolian breed are distinguished by a chubar suit.
7. Karabair. As a result of the merger of stallions of eastern origin and Turkmen mares, an amazing breed of horses was born. Karabair is able to pave the way in difficult places, stoically endure the vagaries of the weather and overcome obstacles with dexterity. Some historians argue that the ancestor of the Karabairs is the horse of Alexander the Great, Bucephalus. The breed is divided into 2 groups: draft and riding. Chubary coloration in Karabairs appears only in certain parts of the body.

Breeding spotted horses

Achieving the birth of a spotted foal is difficult. The probability of a positive result depends on the presence of a special gene, the breed of the horse and the type of color. For example, it is almost impossible to get offspring of brindle color.The wild gene cannot be inherited. It is easier to achieve the appearance of blond descendants of the Appaloosa, Falabella and Altai horse.

To increase the chances of a positive result, a couple of individuals of a chubar color are crossed. Even under these conditions, there is no guarantee that spotted offspring will appear. Even after the birth of a foal, it is impossible to immediately determine the future color of the animal. Spots on the horse appear after a few months. Crossing representatives of the same breed of piebald colors increases the chances of the desired result.

Feeding and maintenance

The he alth and well-being of an animal depends on the quality of the diet and the conditions of detention. Every day the horse should receive:

• 10-25 kg of hay;
• 5 kg of concentrated feed made up of oats, corn, barley, rye and wheat.
• 2 kg bran;
• 3 kg of succulent food. This category includes: potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, beets, as well as herbal supplement.
• vitamins and bone meal.

Keep the animal in a spacious, bright, ventilated room. The pet is assigned an individual stall, with an area of at least 5 square meters. m.

The "apartment" of the pet is cleaned daily, and in the spring the premises are treated with an antiseptic. The floor in the stall is covered with straw. A drinking bowl and a feeder are installed in the stall. The horse is provided with access to clean water. 3-4 times a week the horse is taken for a walk.
