CHAAR Ranch - a Project Uniting History, Culture and Nature
Chaar Ranch is more than just a horse farm; it is a unique space where Chaar horses become a symbol of the fusion of tradition, science, art, and sport. This project is still in its early stages, but its importance is already evident—it will create a strong foundation for the revival and popularization of the Chaar horse while offering new opportunities for sustainable and harmonious human interaction with nature.
Eco-Lodge: A Model for a Sustainable Future
A key part of Chaar Ranch is an eco-lodge, designed to be built from local, natural materials such as wood, clay, and straw. Our goal is not just to construct a building, but to create a space that blends seamlessly into the natural landscape, supports the local ecosystem, and becomes a hub for those who share our values. The lodge will host scientists, artists, photographers, athletes, tourists, and anyone eager to learn more about the Chaar horse and contribute to its development. This will be a place where we educate people on humane horse care, conduct lectures and seminars, and organize cultural events.
Chaar Horses – A Living Heritage of Central Asia
Thanks to the Chaar Horse Accelerated Breeding Program, the Chaar horse population is steadily growing. Since the program’s launch in 2021, we have increased the number of horses from 20 to 60, and by 2026, we aim to reach 100. However, our mission goes beyond numbers—we are committed to preserving the unique genetic heritage and exceptional qualities of the Chaar horse. To achieve this, we collaborate with Texas A&M University and international experts.
Sport, Culture, and Science – Shaping the Future of Chaar
Chaar Ranch will not only serve as a breeding and conservation center but also as a hub for equestrian sports. We are proud to have introduced Kyrgyzstan to the global stage in horseball: in 2022, our national team competed for the first time in the Horseball World Cup in France, and in 2025, they will represent the country again in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Beyond training athletes, we aim to showcase the Chaar horse as the ideal equine partner for competitive sports.
Additionally, Chaar Ranch will be a place for international gatherings, uniting people from different cultures and nations through their shared love of horses. Throughout history, horses have connected civilizations, fostering the exchange of knowledge, traditions, and friendships.
Chaar Ranch – Where the Past Meets the Future
This project is still in development, and its successful realization depends on the support of partners who share our vision. We invite like-minded individuals, brands, investors, and organizations to join us in creating a space that exemplifies the harmonious coexistence of humans, horses, and nature.
Be part of the creation of Chaar Ranch—together, we can bring this vision to life!
