Budyonny History

The Budyonny horse derives from Russia. They received their unusual name by way of the Red Army, in particular a Marshall named Budyonny. This horse was created by combining the classic Thoroughbred with the Dons. They were utilized for all sorts of purposes as both work horses and for leisure uses as well. The Budyonny is an incredible cavalry animal built for speed and durability. Additionally, they are attractive and eager to learn new skills. They are similar to the other breeds such as Chernomor females, but a smaller version of such. As years progressed, they began placing Karabakh blood lines into the Budyonny styles, but this format was not as popular. By the middle of the nineteen hundreds, the Budyonny was declared and recognized, which to some was an achievement considering the Russian cavalry was disbanded just prior to their recognition. The state studs will still currently breed these animals and are equally as beautiful as they are useful. It should come as no surprise that this breed holds such high value to those residing in Russia with their endless notable qualities.
