Tarpans are a now extinct wild horse from Russia. The last
two on the planet died within a decade of each other in the late 19th century.
Essentially the Tarpan is one of the few wild equines that existed during prehistoric times and they are thought to be the ancestors of most modern breeds that come from the Russian Steppes. Originally they were found throughout Eastern Europe and western Russia and became the foundation stock for many civilizations along the eastern Mediterranean. For thousands of years they were a mainstay in many cultures and their blood is a part of a wide variety of modern breeds. They were hunted to extinction in a similar manner as the modern Mustang is today in the western US. ... | ||

Tori, or Tori Hobune, horses were developed at the Tori stud
in Estonia from 1890 to 1950. They were developed by crossing native Estonian
mares with European half bred stallions. They were mainly founded by a stallion
named Hetman, whose sire was Stewart, a crossbreed of a Norfolk Trotter and an
Anglo-Norman mare. The Tori breed was formed by breeding Hetman and his sons.
Thus, a valuable breeding nucleus rapidly formed, that slowed as signs of
inbreeding depression were found in the 1930''s. This deteriorated performance
and robustness. To eliminate this inbreeding depression, Toris were crossed
with Breton Post-horse stallions, and as a result, the massive type of Tori
became widespread while the quality of the gaits declined. T

Turk (also known as Turkmene, Turkmen, or Turkmenian) horses
