The quintessential kabarda Horse flaunts a dense, shiny coat predominantly of bay, gray, chestnut, and rarely black or dun. Markings are infrequent, but faint stars, strips, or snips on the face can be observed. Standing 14.2-16 hands high, kabarda Horse showcases a robust, sturdy body with a broad chest, muscular neck, and strong back. The mane, dense yet short, often mirrors the coat color, and the tail is thick and long. This breed's eyes are generally dark brown, which tend to lighten slightly with age. Kabarda Horse's straight, so-called 'oriental' head sets them apart, with their expressive, slightly almond shaped eyes, broad forehead, and refined, chiselled muzzle.
