The Karachay is developed in the Northern Caucasus. It comes from highland Karachay at the rise of the River Kuban. They were developed by crossing regional horses with eastern stallions. Karachay horses are summered in rugged mountain country where there are wide changes in temperature and humidity, and wintered in the foothill and plains with some hay feeding.
