The Zhemaichu are highly adjustable and have long been sent overseas to Western Europe. The earlier breeds of Zhemaichu were smaller but the modern Zhemaichu after the post-war years are much larger. This was accomplished through pure breeding and limited crossbreeding with North Swedish stallions. This created a modern Zhemaichu with a somewhat longer trunk, massive body, as well as having great endurance but still maintaining the distinguishing exterior features of the early breed of Zhmudka. The Zhemaichu was a foundation breed for the Trakehnen. The Zhemaichu is very strong with great stamina and agility. These horses are used for utility and sporting events such as steeplechases. The Zhemaichu make quality breeding material to medium-sized horses for sport and tourism because of their massive size and clean build. The Zhemaichu stallions are also being used to help develop the new meat-producing breed in the Altai. Google Ads
