Number of horses by category of farms, dynamics
229.653 thousand heads comprised the total horse population in the country at the end of 2022, and by the end of 2023 this figure reached 387.44. Data are distributed across 95 rows, showing both totals for the Russian Federation and details for federal districts and specific subjects such as Belgorod Oblast. Comparing the two columns reveals changes in animal numbers over the period for each region
Dynamics of horse numbers in the regions of Russia for 2022 and 2023
Set in numbers
Rosstat data for 2022–2023. Rows: 277, periods: 2. Breakdown: Russian Federation — Agricultural organizations; Russian Federation — Households; Russian Federation — Peasant (farm) households …; Central Federal District — Agricultural organ…; Central Federal District — Households and others
Russian Federation — Households: indicator increased from 688.7 to 689.4 for 2022–2023 — by 0.11%. Of 24 largest rows, 8 increased, 16 decreased
All table numbers are series: 277
How to read this table
Table rows are grouped by territory, starting with nationwide figures and ending with individual oblasts, krais and republics. It is convenient to compare the dynamics of a single region over two years or to contrast horse numbers across different parts of the country in the same time slice. This structure helps identify regions with the highest and lowest horse counts in the overall agricultural sector without searching multiple documents
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Russian Federation — Households (689.4), Russian Federation — Peasant (farm) households (392.2), Russian Federation — Agricultural organizations (229.7), Central Federal District — Households (20.3), Central Federal District — Agricultural organizations (8.79). Gap between highest and lowest — by 17,677 times. The top five account for 99% of the total across all positions — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual and cover 2 periods. Cells with numbers: 50 out of 50 (100%), i.e., the table is almost completely filled
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2023 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur

Period and application
The information is current for 2022 and 2023 and is updated by Rosstat as new agricultural bulletins are released. The data are useful for agrarian specialists, livestock analysts and regional‑economy researchers assessing the state of horse breeding in the country
How it is calculated
This year’s harvest and livestock numbers determine next year’s procurement prices: processors need such rows earlier than the supplier’s price list
