Ellunkanat

Has the 2nd and 3rd molars same size. May be descendant of the Mosbach horse, the most ancient and primitive horse fossil in Europe. It was about 15.2hh (158cm) by the end of the second glaciation and 14hh (142cm) at the end of the Ice Age. Its habitat was Europe but it migrated into Asia at the end of the Ice Age, where it lived in the southern Caspian area, Turkestan and Iran.

Long head with a small narrow forehead and convex profile, a fine delicate muzzle, straight jaw, small teeth, long ears and eyes placed higher on the head, a long neck and clean throatlatch. Prominent withers, higher than the rump, reached far on to a  medium to long back, long inclined shoulders, narrow chest and body, and sloping croup. Long legs, cannon bones and pasterns ended in oval, medium-sized hoofs with no feathering. Dark mane, with intermingled light-coloured hairs at the bottom, long and lay on the neck, although some sub-types may have had upright manes. Coat was dun or mouse dun with darker face. Type III always had a dorsal black line and zebra stripes on the legs and very often also on the shoulders.

Type III numerous domestic descendants, purebred or crossed with the other types on sub-types. They come in 2 forms: the heavy northern horses like Kladruber, Holsteiner, Flemish, Percheron, Hanoverian warm-bloods and secondly the more refined southern European and Asian types, like the Sorraia, the Lusitano, the Spanish, the Barb and in Asia the Turkoman or Turanian and the Akhal-Teke. Many modern breeds, like the Thoroughbred and all the European and American saddle horses have all some contribution from Type III horse.
