Crown stallion system : ウィキペディア英語版 | Crown stallion system
The crown stallion system ((フィンランド語:ruununorijärjestelmä)) was an early state-initiated horse breeding programme in Finland. Its aim was to improve the Finnish horse population by providing state-owned stallions for public use. It was later replaced with the Finnhorse studbook, founded in 1907. == Motive and development == The great famine of 1866-1868 had a devastating effect on the Finnish horse population. Many breeders were compelled to sell their best stallions to Russia for money as a desperate measure,〔(Ote Kirsi Peltosen opinnäytetyöstä ”Vaellusratsu” 2004 ) (''An excerpt of Kirsi Peltonen's thesis "Trail riding steed" 2004''), accessed 2011-01-15〕 and large numbers of horses were slaughtered for food. To make up for the loss of valuable breeding animals, and to aid the rebuilding of the horse population, the Senate of Finland sent orders in 1869 to the provinces of Vaasa, Häme and Kuopio, ordering them to obtain suitable stallions to be publicly owned and made available to local residents for breeding to privately owned mares.〔〔Ojala, Ilmari 1995: Suomenhevonen - Ruununorijärjestelmä, page 54〕 Later, funding was appropriated for this purpose, and with it came generalized instructions for eight provinces to each obtain four stallions. Still later, Finland was subdivided into one hundred breeding districts ((フィンランド語:ruununoripiiri)), and each district was to have one state stallion. However, most years, some breeding districts lacked a stallion due to the scarcity of good quality horses. The stallions purchased and used in this programme were called "crown stallions" ((フィンランド語:ruununori, ruununoriit)), at first informally, but eventually as an official designation. The abbreviation "ro" became part of the name of each crown stallion; animals were further distinguished by their breeding districts; for example, the stallion Poke who stood at Urjala was officially "Poke ro Urjala", and his son, also named Poke, but who stood in a different district, was "Poke ro Ylihärmä".〔
