“The animals, five stallions, two and five mares, were quarantined in the city of Suzdal, Vladimir region, and then arrived at the Khasan railway checkpoint in three trucks specially provided for their next shipment to the DPRK,” the Russian veterinary service said in a statement. . .
The “Orlov Trotter” is Russia’s most prominent horse and is known, according to the veterinary service, for its “playful trot”.
Russia’s state-run news firm RIA said it is the first exercise in North Korea since COVID restrictions were imposed in 2020. He said the drugs would remain in future shipments.
It was not without delay that it became clear why 30 thoroughbreds Orlov Trotter were needed in North Korea.
North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is a horse enthusiast.

Knowledge of Russian customs shows that North Korea has spent thousands of dollars on Russian thoroughbred horses in recent years. (Reporting via Guy Faulconbridge, editing via Angus MacSwan)
