The shoulder:	short, straight.
The thigh:	short and tilted, gone down well and muscular.
Members:	strong, with dry tendons.
Feet:	dry, with the horn hard and very solid.

c) General aspect

The horse of the Kyrgyz type has a solid skeleton, the line of top is flexible, broad and quite muscular, the members are strong, well developed and well attached well, and the feet are very good.

d) Locomotor apparatus and rays

The robustness of the articulations of the horse of the Kyrgyz type, as well as the solidity of its tendons, developed and well attached, constitute an essential factor of longevity and good locomotion.

The rather short, right and open shoulder facilitates more the gesture of the front legs thnt the amplitude of the tread.

The slope of the basin, the opening of the hip as well as the short and tilted femur support tonicity, balance and the agility of the paces rather than their amplitude.

The force of the line of top as well as the musculature of the members allow a good propulsion.

e) Other characteristics

The colors are numerous and varied, simple and composed, the more current colors being the bay, the chestnu, the rouan, the aubère, the gray and the Isabelle.

The tendons are firm, dry and solid, not very favourable to the soft tares.

The skin is rather thick, the hairs are abundant, thick and very long.

f) Paces

The horse of the Kyrgyz type has four basic paces ; the walk, the trot, the pace and the gallop. The four paces are balanced, active and frank, the gesture is not large, the tread is not very wide, the swinging of the neck is important.

The conformation of the horse of the Kyrgyz type facilitates the agility of the gesture rather than the amplitude of the tread, therefore a great ease and a natural skill in rough ground and in high mountain, rather than a capacity for speed.
