A Bibliography Attempt on the Studies About “Horse Culture” and “Horse Breeding” Terminology Made in Kazakhstan

Summary/Abstract: The horse has had an important place in Turkish society since ancient times. In Central Asia, the findings from archaeological excavations and horse depictions in rock paintings have been remarkable in terms of showing the place of the horse in the lives of steppe nomads from time immemorial. It is known that the culture of horse riding and horse husbandry spread to different parts of the world from the Central Asian steppes. In the light of today’s information, the domestication process of the horse goes back about a thousand years. The horse was domesticated at a time dated to 2500 BC around the Botai culture in northern Kazakhstan. Horse breeding is extremely important in Kazakhstan, where horse is one of the main food sources. This article encompasses a bibliography of the studies carried out in Kazakhstan on horse breeding and horse culture. Besides the studies mainly in Kazakh language, the pertinent studies in Russian were also included in the study in order to guide researchers for further readings. The bibliography is listed alphabetically by authors’ surname. The article is aimed to guide researchers who will work on issues such as horse culture, horse breeding and horse training in Kazakhstan.
