Bashkir : poney russe élevé par les Bashkirs, anciens nomades qui se sont fixés dans le sud de l'Oural. Le Bachkortostan est une république membre de la Fédération de Russie, capitale Oufa. Origines très anciennes, qui remonterait au Cheval Sauvage de Mongolie comme les autres poneys russes ;il aurait eu l'influence de chevaux de selles(Don et Budienny), de trotteurs Orlov et de chevaux lourds(Ardennais). Petit cheval(135-150), un peu plus grand que l'altai, mais très robuste, docile, polyvalent et réputé pour son endurance. On distinguerait 2 types : le Bashkir des steppes, petit et léger utilisé sous la selle, et le Bashkir des montagnes, plus lourd, pour le trait. Les juments sont traditionnellement utilisées pour la production de lait. Une particularité : une toison frisée, semblable à l'astrakan, en hiver. 2, record 6, French, - bashkir
