Horses have been faithful human helpers since ancient times.
Horse breeding is well developed in Russia. Aboriginal horses, such as the Buryat, Transbaikal, and Vyatka breeds, live far from people, find food on their own in the steppe, protect themselves from wolves, and care for their offspring. A person only keeps records of livestock, vaccinates horses, forms a new school for young stallions.
