Neva (horse)

Neva was a Soviet-bred Thoroughbred racehorse, known primarily for her successes in the 1950s. She was a notable competitor in the USSR and Eastern European racing circuit, winning several prestigious races and contributing to the development of Soviet Thoroughbred breeding programs. Details about her pedigree, foaling date, and specific race records are often found in historical Soviet equestrian publications and archives. While not widely known internationally, Neva remains a significant figure in the history of Soviet horse racing. Her influence on subsequent generations of Soviet Thoroughbreds, though difficult to precisely quantify due to limited accessibility of historical breeding records, is generally acknowledged by equestrian historians specializing in that region.
