НАУЧНОЕ И ИСТОРИЧЕСКОЕ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЕ МОНГОЛЬСКИХ ЛОШАДЕЙ

Автор(ы): Turk A.

История повседневной жизни человека тесно связана с историей лошади. Монгольская порода лошадей способствовала созданию огромной Монгольской Империи. Поразительные физические особенности этой породы сделали ее уникальной. Сердце монгольского общества было построено вокруг кочевой культуры, а блестящая военная тактика определялась использованием лошади. Автор обращается к исторической и культурной значимости лошадей в Монгольской Империи, проводит научный анализ физических характеристик монгольской породы. В результате расширения Монгольской Империи на Евразийском континенте монгольские лошади оказали влияние на европейские конные рынки и на формирование других азиатских пород лошадей. Память о монгольской лошади сохрпнялась в сознании европейцев вплоть до 1900-х годов, что привело к множеству попыток разработать особые гибриды европейских лошадей, ориентируясь на легендарных монгольских лошадей.

A SCIENTIFIC AND HISTORICAL INVESTIGATION ON MONGOLIAN HORSES

Author: Turk A.

History of everyday life is closely connected with the history of the horse, which played a big role in human history. The Mongolian horse breed placed upon its shoulders the Mongol Empire. The breed’s astounding physical features made it unique - more than just a little Asian warhorse. This paper conducts a scientific analysis of the physical characteristics of this breed and their relation to other horse breeds. This paper also addresses the historical and cultural significance of these horses in the Mongolian Empire and the eventual impact they would have on the European horse industry. The physical features that define the Mongolian horse breed and the sub-breeds of the species are closely examined. The Mongolian horse breed has influenced other Asian and Northwestern horse breeds, as a result of the expansion of the Mongolian Empire across the Eurasian continent. The heart of the Mongolian society was built around a nomadic culture and brilliant military tactics defined by use of the horse. Memory of the Mongolian horse lingered in the minds of Europeans until the 1900s, leading to a multitude of attempts to develop crossbreeds of European horses on par with the legendary Mongolian horses.
