Novostriltsivka. The Stud Farm and Its High Standard

The stud farms of Ukraine were set up under the tsars; many have a two-hundred-year history, and some have passed the 250 mark. The Striletskyi stud farm in the Luhansk region was founded in 1798. Farming needed hardy draught horses, the army — riding horses, and prestige and amusement — trotters.
