What Exactly Is A Soviet Heavy Draft?
What is a Soviet Heavy Draft?
A SHD is, and I quote:“This breed was developed during the period from the '80s and the '90s of the last century up to 1952 when it was recognized as a new heavy Draft breed. The breeding zone was quite extensive, including Yaroslavl, Vladimir, Gorki, Penza, Ryazan, Tula, tambov, Voronezh and Orel regions and Mordovia. This was a zone with a developed industry and intensive agriculture, requiring strong and sufficiently fast horses of ample size. Success in the breeding of this type of horse was guaranteed by a stable supply of fodder.
Modern purebred Soviet Heavy Drafts are distinguished by ample height and clearly expressed harness type. They are heavily muscled and boned. The average measurements of breeding stallions at the studs (in cm) are: height withers 163, oblique body length 172, chest girth 215, cannon bone girth 25; mare: 160, 168, 205 and 22.75 respectively. The live weight of stallions is 850 kg and sometimes reaches 1000 kg; the mares' weight is 650-750.
The Soviet Draft has the following characteristics: the head is average in size and clean-cut, the neck is average in length, often on the short side and well muscled; the withers ar low; the back is long, often slightly dipped, the loin is average in length, the croup is broad, furrowed, drooping and heavily muscled, the chest is broad, average in depth, the ribs are well sprung. the forelegs are often pigeon-toed and the hind ones are sickle-hocked. The build is quite coarse, soft and yet much cleaner and more solid than that of the Brabancon. The predominant colours are chestnut, brown and bay.” - Breeds of Livestock - Soviet Heavy Draft Horse
