  The Famous Horses
              of Tori




In this section are horses born in Tori Stud that have made Tori breed famous and maintained that fame. At the moment here are the horses who were especially outstanding in the Soviet Union and on the Estonian scale. In the future they will be companied by the horses who have won mainly in Estonia. One should take into consideration the fact that during the times these horses competed, competing in the Soviet Union was equal to competing in the whole world and the competition was hard. Also the competitors from another nation beside Russian were judged hardly so in order to win the horse had to perform the parts of triathlon in especially pure gaits, disqualifying was easy to come.
