The Dareshuri is a rare Iranian horse breed of Arabian-type, which was developed from the Persian Arabian. It is not considered a subtype of an Arabian horse but a separate breed.

Not an Arabian, but an Arabian-cross:
The Dareshuri was created by the Dareshuri tribe in the province of Fars. Its ancestors were Arabian and Syrian horses that were crossed with Persian Arabians. This breed still exists today although it is very rare.

Contrary to the breeders of Arabian and Persian-Arabian horses, the Dareshuri people didn't, and don't, breed for strains, but rather for a general type. Therefore, unlike with their Arabian ancestors, there are no strains of the Dareshuri breed.

Conformation:
Dareshuri horses have longer legs and shorter backs compared to their Persian ancestors. They also have smaller eyes and smaller jowls, and their faces are dished in a different manner than the faces of Arabian and Persian Arabian horses. Other than these differences, their overall conformation is similar to that of the Persian Arabian.
