A new excursion program is planned to be launched at the Perevozsky Horse Breeding Plant with the support of the Development Corporation of the Nizhny Novgorod Region

A new excursion program is planned to be launched at the Perevozsky Horse Breeding Plant with the support of the Development Corporation of the Nizhny Novgorod Region. It is one of the oldest horse breeding enterprises in Russia, founded in 1844.

“The Perevozsky Horse Breeding Plant is a source of pride for the Nizhny Novgorod Region! The enterprise is the only farm in the region specializing in the preservation and breeding of the rare Soviet Heavy Draft horse breed. The plant has gone through different periods. Now the owner is investing both in the development of the plant and in its tourism component. I am confident that excursions to this unique enterprise will attract many visitors,” emphasized Igor Ishchenko, Director General of the Development Corporation of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

The owner of the organization is LLC “Agat Agro”. Currently, the enterprise keeps more than 130 horses. In 2023, it received the status of a gene pool farm.

The launch of the excursions is planned after the necessary tourism infrastructure has been set up and the guides have been trained. The program includes an overview of the horse breeding plant’s history, acquaintance with the animals and a horse‑riding outing. More detailed information can be obtained by phone: +7 (831) 220‑13‑52.

“Developing tourism infrastructure in municipalities is one of our priority tasks. We are glad that Nizhny Novgorod enterprises are actively participating in this work. The Perevozsky Horse Breeding Plant project is a vivid example of how an entrepreneurial initiative, supported by our tools and recommendations, turns into a real tourism product that will be of interest both to residents of the Nizhny Novgorod Region and to guests from other regions,” added Igor Ishchenko.

The investor made the decision to launch the tourist route project after participating in a number of round tables organized by the Development Corporation and dedicated to the development of the tourism industry. The meetings addressed measures of state support, available sites for locating tourism facilities, and promising investment niches.

“Participating in the round tables organized by the Development Corporation helped us take a fresh look at the potential of our farm. The Corporation’s support gave us confidence that we are moving in the right direction,” said Dmitry Lukin, a representative of the AGATAGRO agricultural holding.

Territorial managers of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Development Corporation have been operating in the region since 2022. They assist investors implementing projects in municipalities located far from the regional center. Each manager is assigned to several districts.

Agency specialists regularly provide face-to-face consultations on investment project implementation. Large-scale cluster meetings are also held quarterly, bringing together entrepreneurs from several districts.
