The Russian Orlov race-horses are known for being the fastest trotters. The breed was royalty in the days of the Russian Empire, but today these horses are facing tough times.

  • RT....Have you got an update on this video?

    The Orlov trotters are incredible!

    (All horses get shaggy and rough-looking in the winter; in a climate like Russia one does not clip the body hair in the winter months. The horses do look a little thin though...especially for a trotter.)

  • @doobiesmoke15 That is so clever.

  • If I had a Russian horse, I would name it Trotsky

  • orlov traber <3

  • If in one of the oldest stud farms in Russia the situation is like this, what is the situation like in other farms???

    In a crisis, the hardest strokes gets the culture, it's so bad! Culture is the skeleton of humanity!

  • Sad to see such an ancient breed fall from glory, same thing could have happened to the lipizzaner stallions during the wars in Europe.

  • Difficult times in Russia too? The horse industry is horrible in the US as well... I'd love to take one of these horses and get it back into shape... Too bad they are halfway around the world, or I'd take one in a heartbeat, fatten it up, and get it trained.

  • I think Jimisonlons is pulling your leg.

    Most sane people know about Monsanto. If Jimisonlons is really serious about his comments, then the GMO food has done its job on what's left of his brain.

  • them horses need taken out of that field and they need to be sold and looked after and over fed!!!!!!! for about 10 days and put them on shuger beet to make them fat!! do it now these horses need feeding and looked after who is with me here ppl!!!!!!!
