Garabagh, one of the charming corners of our country, is famous for its beautiful nature, amazing music, ancient monuments, refined carpets and rare breeds. Garabagh horses, the national wealth of Azerbaijan, have been formed in this region thanks to the centuries-old nationwide selection, one of the oldest cultures in the world. Garabagh’s horses were an indispensable role in the perfection of the breed of horses and the spreading of their fame. Therefore, the XVIII-XIX centuries are the golden period of Karabakh hunting. In the twentieth century, the most important event in the history of Garabagh horse breed is the creation of Agdam horse breeding plant. This plant was officially established in the territory of the Khaldan poultry farm, based on the decisions of the USSR Council of Ministers on October 8, 1948 and Council of Ministers of the Azerbaijan SSR dated 27 May 1949. In September 1949, the plant was moved to Goytepe, Aghdam Region, and to khan plants in one of the horses’ habitats. After the occupation of the Aghdam region by Armenian aggressors in 1993, the national wealth of Azerbaijan, Karabakh horses, one of the foundations of the local gene, is experiencing a displacement. Karabakh equestrian complex has been operating since 1994 in the territory of Kharkov region of Agjabadi region. Despite all the difficulties, it was possible to keep Karabakh horses up to date. In recent years, the state has been working hard to restore the glory of Azerbaijan’s horse, to ensure the development of horse breeding in our country. In 2007 the Law on Equestrian was adopted. The relevant decree was signed by President Ilham Aliyev in connection with the application of this law, The program for the development of horse breeding has been approved. Presidential Decree on “Additional Support to the Development of Garabagh Horse Breeding in Azerbaijan” dated 19 November 2014 and the Decree of August 21, 2015 “On Measures to Improve the Logistical Supply of Livestock” in the protection of the Garabagh horse gene, the reputation of its historical reputation It has a great importance. On February 22, 2017, the President signed another Decree on this subject. According to the Order, protection and development of Breeding Horse Breed, 2 million manats were allocated from the reserve fund of the President to the Ministry of Agriculture for the completion of measures to create conditions for the scientific breeding work in this field and for the construction of the equestrian complex of “Garabagh Equestrian Farm” LLC under the Livestock Scientific Research Institute. The Karabakh Equestrian Complex is already ready for use.

At the 8th session of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in December 2013, the Chovkan game on Karabakh horse was included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Then a documentary about the Karabakh horses “Sarilar – under the trail of Garabagh horse” was shot. French writer Jean-Louis Kuro, who specializes in horse-breeding and history, published a book titled “Garabagh Horses”. Great horses of Karabakh horses have attracted great interest in the horse show in honor of the 90th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II in the Vindzor castle near London. In short, the conditions created in the complex give us the reason that Karabakh’s horses, the national property of Azerbaijan, now live in the period of their former reputation. As a result of carried out measures, historical reputation of Garabagh horses is returned to it. As a result, our horses will again be successfully represented at international competitions and exhibitions and become a source of pride for our people.
