Two of them become originators of families. The development of these families is extremely dynamic, for the researched period covered by the overall development of the Thoroughbred population in Bulgaria, reaching 5th - 6th generation. Although a limited number of imported mares, they had played a crucial role in the formation of the Thoroughbred population in our country. A total number of mares used for breeding from the two families is 121 mares, 16 of which are now in active breeding age.
