Information regarding transport available in the interior
of Fare is scanty. There are no camels around Shiraz either
to the west or the east. In Bavanat district, however, the tribes
men own large herds.
Kazarun, Shiraz and Sivand are the principal centres for
obtaining mules, and it is said that around the first named
there are some 2,000 and around the last about 1,000.
The tribesmen own considerable numbers of horses and
breed extensively. The Qashqai, which is to be found in large
numbers in the neighbourhood of Shiraz, is the best. Most of
these are of a cobby type with short heavy necks and slack
loins. Their average height is about 14 I hands. They are,
however, reputed to have neither heart nor manner.
In the Darab valley the Baharlu own a great many brood
mares of good quality, averaging bigger and heavier than those
found round Shiraz. It should ordinarily be possible to buy
100 useful horses in the valley in a month.
A large number of donkeys are to be found everywhere.
As in the case of the coastal area, however, the amount of trans
port possessed by the inhabitants only suffices for their own
needs.
