The Ottomans sent 300,000 mounted soldiers to invade Europe in 1322. Seven years later this large cavalry was defeated and their horses captured. Most of the horses were purebreds from the Ottoman’s farms.
European governments realized the advantages of a quick-strike cavalry. So they began breeding the captured horses to bolster their mounted troops. Russian, Poland, and England established stud farms to meet their military needs.
