Budyonny

Information and Breeding

The Budyonny (bood-YAW-knee) is a warmblood sporthorse breed originating in the former USSR. Originally developed as an ideal mount for the cavalry during the Russian Revolution during the early 1900's, they have since progressed into a very hardy and versatile mount competing at higher levels in Dressage, Steeplechase, Showjumping, Eventing, and Endurance.

an elegant type of horse with stamina and endurance beyond question and yet maintaining a calm, sensible temperament.

The Budyonny is known to perform well in dressage, cross-country and jumping. From the beginning they were developed through selection and grueling testing on the racetrack and on cavalry equitation courses. A horse of multiple talents emerged. Years later the need for the sport horse brought about the refined horse that we know today as the "golden horse." The inherited sheen appears on not just the stallions, but mares and geldings as well. They stand from 16h to 17h and are well balanced and compact. - Sterling Farms LLC

The path to Budyonnys is a long and arduous process but well worth it when the final result is a well built animal with a beautiful golden sheen and an inherent ability to bring you to the top in sporthorse disciplines. The guide below shows all the crosses needed to create the Budyonny breed.

Budyonny = (Kazakh x New Kirgiz) x (Thoroughbred x Russian Don)

Kazakh = (Arabian x Mongolian) x (Akhal-Teke x Karabair)

Mongolian = (Przewalski x Tarpan) x Tarpan

Akhal-Teke = Arabian x Turkmene

Karabair = (Arabian x Turkmene) x (Arabian x Mongolian)

New Kirgiz = Vladimir Heavy Draft x (Thoroughbred x Russian Don)

Vladimir Heavy Draft = (Percheron x Shire) x (Cleveland Bay x Suffolk Punch)

Percheron = Norman Cob x (Forest Horse x Belgian)

Norman Cob = (Tarpan x Belgian) x (Forest Horse x Belgian)

Shire = Forest Horse x (Belgian x Friesian)

Friesian = Forest Horse x (Arabian x Andalusian)

Andalusian = (Sorraia x Carthusian) x (Sorraia x West African Barb)

Sorraia = (Tarpan x Mongolian) x (Tarpan x West African Barb)

West African Barb = (Arabian x North African Barb) x (North African Barb x Forest Horse)

Carthusian = West African Barb x Sorraia

Cleveland Bay = Thoroughbred x (Arabian x North African Barb)

Thoroughbred = (Arabian x North African Barb) x (Akhal-Teke x Galloway)

Galloway = Exmoor Pony x (Exmoor Pony x Friesian)

Exmoor Pony = Przewalski Horse x Tarpan

Suffolk Punch = (Norfolk Trotter x Belgian) x (Thoroughbred x Welsh Cob)

Norfolk Trotter = (Thoroughbred x Cleveland Bay) x Cleveland Bay

Welsh Cob = (Welsh Mountain Pony x Hackney) x (Norfolk Trotter x Spanish Barb)

Welsh Mountain Pony = (Thoroughbred x Hackney) x (Arabian x Exmoor Pony)

Hackney = (Arabian x Norfolk Trotter) x (Norfolk Trotter x Thoroughbred)

Spanish Barb = (Spanish Jennet x West African Barb) x (Andalusian x West African Barb)

Spanish Jennet = (Arabian x Sorraia) x North African Barb

Russian Don = (Turkmene x Karabair) x (Anglo-Arabian x Karabakh)

Anglo-Arabian = (Arabian x Thoroughbred) x Thoroughbred

Karabakh = (Akhal-Teke x Persian Arabian) x (Kabarda x Turkmene)

Persian Arabian = (Caspian x Arabian) x Arabian

Kabarda = (Persian Arabian x Turkmene) x (Arabian x Mongolian)

I'm going for Norman Cobs and I see they're on your way!

[Fuscontidox]

I'd someday love to get into percherons as they are my favorite draft breed

since you have to have a bit of them in there ;3 I thought I might just say a little something for future reference

[Sezzas]

My main goal is the Welsh breeds (and to get those I need Welsh Mountain for starters) which I can see are needed for this breed c:

[Alaina]

Excellent, lots of crossovers with people! I'm getting my kabardas sorted and then I will be trudging my way to Russian Dons to start with.

[kethets]

Budyonny is my goal too, but I'm just getting started. I need some good mares first.

[Janga]

Wanna try Russian Dons. But it's long way to them @-@
