About the Vladimir Heavy Draft
Vladimir Heavy Draft is a horse breed from Russia, developed for heavy draught work. Its early development took place during the twentieth century on farms and in collective agricultural settings in Ivanovo Oblast and Vladimir Oblast, east of Moscow. Three Clydesdale stallions, foaled between 1910 and 1923, had the most important influence on the breed’s development. The breed received official recognition in 1946.
