The Chumyshskaya or Chumysh horse was developed by people near the Chmysh river in the Altai region of Russia. The goal was to improve the small local animals by adding draft and saddle blood. The result of such crossbreeding and then interbreeding of suitable offspring was a valuable agriculture-type horse.

The animals took to working cows and pulling freight quite well and were highly prized for their ability to pull artillery during wartime. Not to mention they were well-suited for the inhospitable landscape of Siberia, mares continued to produce strong foals. <\/p>\n
Selective breeding of the Chumysh hasn’t been a priority for the local people and sadly that means their bloodlines have become highly diluted. Along with other breeds found in Siberia, efforts are being made to extract pure blooded animals and protect their lineage.<\/p>\n
