Budyonnys are very elegant warmblood horses with high withers, long legs and muscled neck and back. The head is noble, though often rather heavy and expressionate. In Russia, they're famous as showjumping horses. They also show excellent performance in long-distance-races and have won steeplechase races as well. There are lines in the breed selected for shows and are tested in showjumping and dressage whereas other lines do have more racehorse characteristics and are tested on the racetrack. Budyonny horses also have a lot of qualities that make them an excellent breed for hacking and leisure. In the big Russian studs such as the stud Budyonny and the stud of The First Cavalry Army (Pervaya Konnaya Armija), the horses are kept in large herds (called Tabun) who run free in the steppe. This guarantees healthy horses with good social behaviour and good movements
