About Amur HorsesAbout Amur Horses





Amur Horses are a light horse breed from Siberia of the early 19th century that is sadly now extinct.

Their bloodlines were a combination of Transbaikal (Buryat) and Tomsk heritage; they were bred primarily for riding. The Amur was a hardy and strong breed with a finer conformation than generally found in colder northern regions. The breed became extinct due to crossing with many of the other Russian breeds including Orlov Trotters, Don and Budyonny.

They had a short, thick neck, medium length back with a well-rounded croup.
