After that point, breeding "straight Russian" Arabians, or horses that were descended only from Tersk-bred horses, was not as common in the U.S. Some American breeders increasingly crossed Russian-bred horses with other lines to produce more exotic type and movement, while Arabian sport horse breeders outcrossed to Russian lines for their ...
The Tersk Stud was established by Semyon Budyonny in 1921 with the aim of re-establishing the horse population of Russia, which was depleted after the events of the Russian Revolution of 1917. Among the horses brought there in 1925 were two stallions and a few mares of the Ukrainian Strelets breed; [4]: 89 this breed, now extinct, was a part ...
The Arabian or Arab horse (Arabic: الحصان العربي [alħisˤaːn alʕarabijj], DMG al-ḥiṣān al-ʿarabī) is a breed of horse with historic roots on the Arabian Peninsula. With a distinctive head shape and high tail carriage, the Arabian is one of the most easily recognizable horse breeds in the world.
About 3,000 horses kept at the stud were involved. [4] Unlike many other Russian nobles, who were not fond of raising horses, Orlov was a professional horse breeder who was also credited for creating some 70 different animal breeds, including the Russian wolfhound.
This is a list of the horse breeds considered in Russia to be wholly or partly of Russian origin, including breeds from the Russian Federation and from the former Soviet Union. Some may have complex or obscure histories, so inclusion here does not necessarily imply that a breed is predominantly or exclusively Russian.
Naborr had the distinction of being the first Russian-bred Arabian to have offspring registered in the United States. Due to his importation from Poland, he could be registered, as the Russian Arabian Stud Book was not approved by the World Arabian Horse Association until 1978. [3]: 94 Naborr died on November 9, 1977; [2] he was 27 years old.
At the request of the Soviet government, the resulting horse was given the name "Russian Saddle". It is the result of strict selection based on type and appearance, [19] with a wide openness to crossbreeding. The new Russian saddle breed was presented at an agricultural show in 1939, and compared with the Arabian horse. [19]
Aswan (1958–1984), originally named Raafat [1] in Egypt, was a highly influential grey Egyptian-bred Arabian stallion who stood at the Tersk Stud in Russia. Sired by Nazeer out of Yosreia, he was given as a gift to the Soviet Union by the Egyptian government in 1963, in return for Soviet help in building the Aswan Dam.
