A notable feature of this breed is the metallic "bloom" of its coat, with some horses "shimmering" more than others.
It is thought that this type of coloring helped them camouflage easier in the desert. This breed is tough and has adapted to the harsh land of Turkmenistan, where it came for the Karakum desert.
