This article examines the historical roots of horse breeding in Central Asia and the ecological and geographical conditions of the region. It addresses natural pastures, clean water sources, nutrient-rich steppes, and fertile crop fields that contributed to the development of purebred horses, their endurance, speed, and aesthetic qualities. Furthermore, the study analyzes the role of the ecological environment in the initial domestication of horses and their subsequent spread to other regions, as well as the strategic significance of water and pasture resources and the sustainability of regional horse breeding in early historical periods.
