In one conclusive look, the Dareshuri is a horse with a tall build (especially compared with other local breeds) of around 150-160 centimeters (15-16 hands) from withers to ground, a balanced and muscular body, and very strong and resistant skeletal structure. William Douglas writes:
“when hunting and on stony ground sometimes a horse would fall but almost never get injured.”
From the side, the body shape is not as compact as the Kurd horse and not as elongated as the Turkmen. The proportions and congruence of the body of this breed, with its high-held neck and tail, makes for a splendid sight.
