The medal was instituted under Alexander II as a reward for individuals and institutions who significantly contributed to the improvement of horse breeding in the Russian Empire. Horse breeding held great strategic and economic importance, providing quality mounts for the army, transport, and agriculture.

This medal reflected the government’s recognition of those who supported the modernization and strengthening of one of the empire’s most vital resources.
