The Goklan horse is, with the exception of the Yabou, the "heaviest" descendant of the old Turanian horse. He was bred in the main by the Goklan Turkoman, whose tribal borders are within Iran. As a result of the needs they had for their horse, the horse is well suited to mountainous terrain.

Breeders of Turkomans in Iran note that some Akhal-Teke foundation sires bear a strong resemblance to the Goklan horse they breed today. Curiously enough, some Arabian horses also bear a strong resemblance to the Goklan: the famous Polish Arabian sire Wielki Szelm (left) bears a very strong resemblance to Akhal-Teke foundation sire Dor Bairam (right). The Arabian has a higher tail-set and shorter back, accommodations to their differing terrain. Otherwise, in overall conformation, they are both much like a heavyweight Thoroughbred hunter.
