Alternative Name Basic Info Budyonnys are very elegant warmblood horses with high withers, long legs and muscled neck and back. The head is noble, though often rather heavy and expressionate. In Russia, they're famous as showjumping horses. They also show excellent performance in long-distance-races and have won steeplechase races as well. There are lines in the breed selected for shows and are tested in showjumping and dressage whereas other lines do have more racehorse characteristics and are tested on the racetrack. Budyonny horses also have a lot of qualities that make them an excellent breed for hacking and leisure. In the big Russian studs such as the stud Budyonny and the stud of The First Cavalry Army (Pervaya Konnaya Armija), the horses are kept in large herds (called Tabun) who run free in the steppe. This guarantees healthy horses with good social behaviour and good movements Health N/A

But when giving them enough space to run free, the horses show the calm, sensible side of their character. Budyonnys are "one-man horses" that need to have time to trust their owner. Due to their intelligence and surefootedness, they will have no problems with difficult grounds Origin South Russia History Budyonnys were bred from Don horses, Chernomor horses and thouroughbreds around 1920. The founder of the breed, marshal Semyon Budyonny, wanted to create a breed of cavalry horses that were enduring, fast and easy to keep and feed. In 1948, the crossing was officially accepted as an own breed Common Foods grass |
