Where is the best horse in Xinjiang?

Ilima. Ili horse is based on Xinjiang Kazakh horse, which is a cross between orlov horse and Dun hippo in the former Soviet Union. Local herders call it "two horses". After 1960s, Ili horse was mainly bred by Dun Hippo, and its blood volume reached more than 50%. Ili horse has high reproductive performance, rough feeding resistance, strong disease resistance and wide adaptability. Physical characteristics: average height 144 ~ 148 cm, weight 400 ~ 450 kg. It is tall and symmetrical, with a small and smart head, big eyes, high head and neck and strong limbs. When its neck is held high, it is fierce, its coat color is shiny and beautiful, and its appearance is more beautiful. Hair color is mainly mane, millet hair and black hair, and there are often white patches on limbs and forehead, which are called "white stripes". Ilima has a good dual-purpose body shape, tall and symmetrical structure. The head is beautiful, tall and dry, and the facial blood vessels are obvious; Big eyes, wide forehead, straight nose, big nostrils and pride. The neck length is moderate, the muscles are full, the base of the neck is high, and the neck and shoulders are well combined. Tortoise shell is of medium height and fully developed. The back and waist are straight, slightly longer, and the rafters are wide, medium in length and slightly inclined. The chest is deep, the ribs are well opened, the chest is developed and the abdomen is normal. The scapula is long and oblique, the limbs are dry, the tendons and veins are obvious, the joints are clear, and the limb posture is correct. Medium length, strong hoof and light walking. The mane, mane, tail and spur are medium or slightly longer. A small number of horses have insufficient neck muscles, poor chest development and insufficient limbs development, which need to be improved in future breeding work. Coat color is the most common color, followed by chestnut and black, while cyan and other colors are rare. According to the investigation of 929 horses in 1980, the coat color is 54.7%, chestnut coat is 24.5%, black coat is 17. 1%, and blue coat is 65438. Evaluation and Prospect Ilima is a large variety bred by long-term hybridization under the condition of group grazing. It has basically the same variety characteristics and relatively stable inheritance in morphology and appearance. Both strength and speed of work ability, high reproductive performance. Rough feeding resistance, strong disease resistance and wide adaptability. It is one of the excellent dual-purpose horses in China. Ili horse can meet the needs of agriculture and animal husbandry production and transportation in China, and has been introduced as a stallion in many provinces and regions, which has played a certain role in horse breeding in China. According to the present situation of Ili horse varieties and the actual situation of horse production, breeding and sales, corresponding measures must be taken to control the quantity, strive to improve the quality and strengthen the work of species conservation. The breeding of Ili horse should develop in the direction of riding and pulling, properly cultivate riding horses, actively improve the management of grazing and supplementary feeding, strengthen the cultivation of young foals, do a good job in strain selection and expand the utilization of Ili horse to meet the needs of national economic development.
