Studies Concerning the Amelioration Action of the Horses in the Maramures Region

摘要

The researches took place on 54 horses belonging to households from 12 villages in Maramures, situated in mountain, hill or plain regions. I have tried to come up with a horse type preferred by Maramures countrymen, by taking body measurements of the 54 horses and by taking into consideration the effects and results of the empirical and controlled actions of improvement. The preferred horse proved to be medium tall and heavy. I have found horses of important robustness - up to 125.27 as well as of great massiveness up to 137.15. 60.52% of the improved studied horses have a rectangular body, specific to heavy traction horses.
