Their pedigree originates in the 19th century. The breed was removed as a result of crossing of Persheronov and Ardenov. Because of this, the horses were called Russian Arden. Representatives of one of the greatest breeds of horses are slightly inferior in size to their relatives-record holders. However, Russian heavy trucks have a number of features that make them popular. First, these horses live for quite a long time. Secondly, they are economical in the stern. Thirdly, they feel comfortable in a harness. Fourthly, they give high season.

The best horses - what should they be? In fact, the question refers to the category of rhetorical. One likes the mighty and huge heavy trucks, others crazy about fast as the wind, purebred rigging, well, and the third souls do not have a challenge in their miniature Flabella, and consider it the best horse in the world.
The most horses in the world
It is a matter of taste of everyone, and we do not undertake to talk about what is good for the horse, and what is not. Our task is to tell about the "best of the best", that is, about the record holders among the horsepower tribe. So, let's begin…
The oldest breed of these animals is considered to be Arabic. On the territory of the Arabian Peninsula, the first references to horses found by archaeologists are dating tenth century to our era. However, in modern form, the Arabic bumps are known from the seventh century to our era, therefore it is impossible to call it the most ancient of cultural rocks.
Arabian stallion
It is worth noting that no other horsepower has made such a contribution to the development of modern horse breeding, like this. Hippologists call these animals by the Gold Fund of the entire global selection.
The very first cultural breed of horses
The first breed, the breeding of which was held with the direct participation of a person, the Akhaltekians are considered.
The selection of this purebred horse began in the third millennium BC, in the territory of modern Turkmenistan, in Oasis Akhal. This place and gave the name of this variety. Akhaltechinka to this day are divorced "in themselves", not allowing the blood of other breed groups. However, hot and inaccurative nature prevented the widespread of the ahal -tertsev, and in world breeding work they are significantly inferior to the Arabic bumps.
The hardest horse in the world
In this nomination, the championship belongs, naturally, the heavy-seaside of the Belgian breed Brabance.
The stallion of the Nesto-Chali MASTI named Brooklyn Suffer at the age of ten years weighed 1451 kilograms, in his height in the withers made up one meter ninety-eight centimeters.
The total mass of the horseshoes of this mighty giant was 13 kilograms of 600 grams. However, there is a horse that looked even the most impudent of this monster of the horse in the world.
The biggest horse
An absolute record holder in his growth among all horses of the world was the stallion named Sampson, who belonged to the breed of English heavy trucks - Shairs. His height in the withers was equal to two meters nineteen centimeters, for which he received the second nickname - Mammoth.
This colossossose of birth in the 1846th year in England, in Toddington Mills. At the time of establishing this phenomenal record, he was four years old. It is said that he has weighed more than one and a half tons, but evidence or photographs, alas, not survived.
The smallest horses
Argentine Pony Flabella is the most miniature representatives of these animals. The very first phalabella named Reco de Roca, weighed less than twelve kilograms and grew up in the withers to 38 centimeters.
However, the record of miniature belongs to another representative of these horsehelip. In 1975, the stallion of this breed by nicknamed Little Pamkin stopped growing, and impartial measurements recorded the height of 35.5 centimeters, and the mass of only 9 kilograms of 70-m grams.
Horse - long-lived
This animal was real MAUPUSAL, named Billy, who was born in England in the town of Woolston. He managed to live as much as 62nd, and this is despite the fact that it has fulfilled the hardest work until the most recent days - dragged on the Barja River. His owner told that Billy was distinguished by excellent health and practically did not pain. Years of the life of this record holder - 1760-1822th, and so far no one from the horses managed to live such a long life
The strongest horses
Here we come back to heavy trucks again. The absolute record at the moment is the result, which shown by a pair of representatives of these animals, which in the town called Nester (USA, Michigan) managed to move the load with a mass of 130.9 tons and dragged it as many as 402 meters. The load lay on the sleigh, and dragged him along the frozen road.
In 1893, a couple of English villages, whose own weight was 1587 kilograms, dragged fifty logs with a total weighing of 42.3 tons.
In April 1924, a exhibition was held in Wembley (England), on which two astounding results were shown at once. Stallion Volcano, attached to the dynamometer, issued a traction force of 29.7 tons! There, another couple of heavy trucks issued a traction jerk in a 51-ton.
Here, naturally, there are no equal horses of the purebred riding rock, which to this day are fastest in the world.
A stallion named Big Racket In 1945, at jumps in Mexico City showed a striking result equal to 69.6 kilometers per hour (at a quarter of a quarter mile long).
Until now, no one faster than their horses ran.
The fastest horse in the world - Big Racket
Record of high-speed endurance
The fastest hill in the world at a distance of one mile long remains the horse, whose name was Pine Chip. He showed time for one minute 51 seconds in the 1994th year, and to this day no one could beat this record.
The highest jump
The stallion named Huaso was thrown above in the world, in the saddle of which the rider was sitting on the surname Morales.
At competitions in Chile, he overcame an obstacle a height of two meters forty-seven centimeters, and it was back in 1949.
The farthest jump
Horse nicknamed Something on competitions in Johannesburg (South Africa) made the world's farthest jump in the world. In 1975, he managed to jump over the water with water width eight meters forty centimeters.
The most fruitful
As you know, the females of horses tolerate offspring for quite a long time - 11 months, and therefore they cannot boast of their foals. Most often, the mare is born one foal is born. However, among the horses there are "mother heroines". It is reliably known that one mare, whose name, unfortunately, was riveted in the summer, for his life gave birth and fed the 19th stabbat.
Record "Lapserance"
The mane is rightfully considered one of the main decorations of any of these animals, and how it is longer - the more effectary looks like a horse. At the moment, the record of the length of this horsepower belongs to the stallion named Dino. His luxurious hairstyle has increased up to three meters of four centimeters!
This place occupies a purebred horse named Sharif Dancer. For this beautiful stallion with a stunning pedigree, in which there were many winners of the most prestigious horse racing in the world, Arabic Sheikh paid the whole ... Forty million American dollars!
The most expensive horse Sharif Dusser
The biggest horse heart
We all know that horses are very kind and responsive animals. About such people they say - "He has a big heart." If you approach this from a mathematical point of view, the biggest weight of this organ is recorded at the scakchin of the purebred riding rock by the name of Eclipse.
This indicator was 6.3 kilograms.
