Orlov Trotter is a horse breed with a hereditary fast trot, noted for its outstanding speed and stamina. It is the most famous Russian horse. The breed was developed in Russia in the late 18th century by Count Alexei Orlov at his Khrenovskoy Stud farm near the town of Bobrov (Voronezh guberniya)
We had a festival of Orlov Trotter. It was a very sunny day.

    Yuri, WOW on your 1st shot! That's superb! I always love your situational (street) portraits, but this is a bit different. I like it!
