This was stated by the Chinese media, which was interested to hold statistics on the number of horses per capita in different countries. Russia ranked first, and now there are about 26 horses per 100 people. So, in Russia, most of the world’s livestock livestock - 22 million individuals. 
Chinese journalists say it is not surprising that there are so many racers in Russia. Since ancient times, the inhabitants of the steppe Siberia and the Don kept herds the size of more than 20 horses. Horsemen, experts in horse farms, argue that the types of foreign horses, which have already lived in Russia for more than two centuries, have completely assimilated to the conditions of climate, nutrition and life, and have adopted a new type of horse - the Russian trotter.
