Birth of Aphrodite by Ekaterina Druz..

Belongs to the gallery Russian Artists New Wave.
Like a ghost in the sunrise fog, white mare is coming silently out of the water. She is so delicate and graceful, that it is hard to believe, that she is real.
Orlov Trotter, Russia.

The Orlov Trotter was developed in 18th century Russia by Count Alexei Orlov. The breed orignated through the crossing of European mares with Arabian stallions. The foundation sire of the breed was Bars I, a stallion of Arabian, Danish and Dutch breeding, foaled in 1784. Orlovs were originally used by Russian nobility for riding and harness racing. The breed faced extinction when breeders began crossing the faster Standardbreds with Orlovs, and further after the Russian civil war when horse breeding became a luxury few could afford. Today the breed is carefully protected at several Russian and Ukrainian stud farms, but with approximately 800 mares, Orlovs are considered to be in danger.
