There are about 57 000 horses in Finland. A third of them are Finnhorses, another third are standardbred trotters, and the rest are riding horses and ponies. The number of foals born yearly is over 3 500. In the beginning of the 90s the numbers of trotters were high, but because of the depression, which began in 1993, the breeding figures were sharply cut with about 50 %. Thanks to the economical recovery and the subventions from the EU, the breeding figures are gradually improving.
Suomen Hippos is the Finnish trotting and breeding association, authorized by the EU. The Finnish studbooks and horse registers are kept and administered by Suomen Hippos. The breeding of trotters is developing evenly. In recent years the top of good horses has broadened, and many individuals have reached the international top level. There is even a demand for Finnish born standardbreds in the exports.
