The Budonny was named after a famous Bolshevik cavalry commander, Marshall Budonny, of the Russian Civil War. The Budonny was produced by crossing the native mares, Don and Chernomor mares, with Thoroughbred stallions. These horses were bred with the intent to make a more durable cavalry horse. The first crossings were known as Anglo-Dons. These Anglo-Don mares, Anglo-Chernomor mares, and Anglo-Dons crossed with Chernomor mares were crossed with Anglo-Don stallions. Any mares lacking were bred back with the Thoroughbred stallions. The Budonny breed was officially recognized in 1949.The modern Budonny has a strong build and is Thoroughbred in appearance. The Budonny average height is 16hh. These horses have stamina and endurance as well as a calm and reasonable temperament. The Budonny performs well in dressage, jumping, and long-distance events as well as in steeplechases and cross-country competitions. Today the Budonny is bred in a number of places including the Ukraine and the area running up to the Black Sea in the southern parts of the former USSR. It is also bred farther to the east in the Kazakh and Kirghiz republic. Google Ads
