Height: 1.6 m. Color: Bay, roan, pinto, black. The British influence can still be seen in this light draft-type horse weighing around 550kg. It has a wide forehead, a long croup, and a thick mane and tail. The breed is traditionally divided into three types, from the lightest to the heaviest. Distribution:Oblast of Voronezh, Russia. This is an intelligent, calm, and confident horse, robust, simple, and with good endurance. It is suitable for both riding and harness work. Sometimes considered extinct, but a few individuals remain, which are all the more important since they still carry Bityug blood.

The Voronezh descends from a breed once renowned but now extinct, the Bityug, a big, heavy draft horse that disappeared as a result of over-crossing. The Bityug had been crossed with the Clydesdale and Orlov Trotter during the twentieth century with the goal of improving it, with more or less success, because some crossings caused it to lose its rusticity.
