Horse cultures can be found in all corners of the globe and it’s important that we preserve them. The onslaught of mechanization during the 20th century redefined our relationship with this noble animal. We want to celebrate all horse cultures of he world, even if we find some of them disagreeable.
Native to Culture
The horse is not a rare sight in Belarus and is still used in agricultural settings and even relied on for transportation. Horses are also used for competition riding, racing, tourism and pleasure riding in this country. The two official breeds are based on native mountain horses that have been in the area for a very long time.
Breeds of Belarus
There are two breeds native to the nation, one a heavier harness type and the other a lowland type with ancient ancestors.
