Golden Stallions International Golden Stallions International is a US-based entity that has connected with Heartly Horse House to bring rare and valuable genetics to breeders in the US from Russia for the first time, with a special focus on Russia's "Golden Horses"--the endangered Don and Budenny horse breeds. At a time when worldwide numbers of Budenny and Don horses have plummeted, the possibility of artificial insemination from Russia comes at the perfect time. GSI was founded in 2019 by Karina Rapp, the president of the North American Budenny Horse Registry, with the goal to encourage genetic diversity by facilitating access to frozen AI and Russian bloodstock.

GSI offers North American breeders the opportunity to join in on a group shipment of frozen semen from rare-breed stallions of their choice.

All foals born through AI with doses from Heartly Horse House are fully eligible for registration with VNIIK, the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Horse Breeding. In addition, breeders are eligible for 1-year free pilot membership at NABHR for 2020, and free registration (must have DNA parent verification) with NABHR for any Budenny, part-Budenny or part-Don foals born in 2021.

Don & Budenny Breeding Specifics With 400 Budenny mares and 180 Don mares worldwide, the Golden Horses of Russia are in dire straights. So how do we breed for more Budennies when there are so few of them, especially in the United States? Budenny and Don horses can be crossed to solid-colored, nongray Thoroughbreds and Arabians. You'll see a "blood purity" fraction mentioned. This indicates the amount of tribal, or native blood compared to Thoroughbred or Arabian blood.

5/16-3/4 = Budenny horse with strong amounts of native blood; 13/16 = a high-blood Budenny; 7/8+ = not tribal (aka not enough native blood; these can be crossed back to Don or Budennies create further generations of Budennies). Keep this in mind when considering the status of your resulting foal.

1. Don or Budenny + Budenny = Higher % Tribal Blood Budenny --> Pureblood Best cross for existing high-blood Budenny mares in North America 2. Don + Arabian = Arab-Don --> Acceptable Breeding Stock, especially mares 3. Budenny + Thoroughbred = High-Blood Budenny --> Good Breeding Stock Best cross for new breeders to start their program 4. Budenny + Arabian = Arab-Budenny --> Acceptable Breeding Stock, especially mares 5. Budenny or Don + Any Other Breed = part-bred Budenny or Don --> Great Ambassadors!

! ! ! Important ! ! !

Heartly Horse House currently freezes equine semen doses in tubes rather than straws. Please make sure your vet knows this and is okay with handling tubes.

Why Do Rare Breeds Matter?

by Karina Rapp, First Published November 4, 2019

Genetic diversity is VITAL to the future of the horse industry worldwide. In 2019 the Pegasus Project released results of genetic studies that track over 5,000 years of horse management and discovered that the development of modern horse breeding practices has caused a dramatic drop in genetic diversity in the last 200 years. This coincides with major cultural and technological shifts that followed the 2nd Agricultural Revolution and the Industrial Revolution of the 17th to 19th centuries when people began to view animals as a means of profit and production instead of a vital part of everyday life. The development of closed stud farms and the heightened mentality of breeding for a purpose resulting in certain traits being selected for again and again, as is seen in the development of the modern Thoroughbred racehorse which occurred at this time.

Choosing only the most popular stallion lines for breeding has massively decreased Ychromosome diversity and increased genome-wide mutations and the accumulation of negative variants (such as HYPP and NFS) which can cause disease and major health issues. See the infographic for an illustration of just how limited and restricted modern horse breeding genetics have become. Each of those colors represents a genetic lineage and its variants, almost all of which have been lost.Rare breeds possess genetic traits, resistance to disease, and special adaptations NOT present in the 'popular' pool of breeding animals and can dilute mutations present in other breeds.

Fages et al. 2019. 'Tracking Five Millennia of Horse Management with Extensive Ancient Genome Time Series', Cell 177(6), 1419-1435.

Rare breeds are therefore integral for maintaining population health and stability. This is true for all species of rare breeds, including other livestock such as pigs, cattle, and chickens.

Projects like the Livestock Conservancy in the United States and the Rare Breeds Survival Trust in the United Kingdom are dedicated to making sure that the important rare breeds of yesterday are not forgotten or lost for tomorrow.

Pictured is Kometa, a US-born Budenny mare, and her 2019 half-Akhal-Teke colt Ofir. There are only 400 Budenny mares worldwide, making for an incredibly endangered breeding core.

Akhal-Tekes, while having made a good comeback, are still rare and in need of careful protection. How can you help? Learning more about rare breeds is the first step, and educating others about what you have learned is the second! Contact organizations such as the North American Budenny Horse Registry (NABHR) or the ATAA (Akhal-Teke Association of America), especially if you are interested in acquiring breeding stock and becoming part of the solution!

Dedicated breeders and fans are essential to the survival of these rare and important genetics which are integral to the health of the future horse population worldwide.

Thank You!

Major thanks are due to Anna Nikolaeva, the most important person representing the Don and Budenny horse breeds in all of Russia. She is in charge of the two breeds at the AllRussian Scientific Research Institute for Horse Breeding (VNIIK), keeps both Registries, accumulates all the information on the breeds, and is always an invaluable and tireless supporter of the various projects for the promotion of Dons and Budennies both in Russia and internationally. Anna helped with the research involved in this catalogue and her great knowledge and assistance deserve much appreciation.
