The Novoolexandrian Draught (Ukrainian: новоолександрівська ваговозна, Novooleksandrivska Vagovozna) is a Ukrainian breed of draught horse. It is named for the state stud farm of Novo-Oleksandrivka [uk] in Bilovodsk Raion of Luhansk Oblast in the easternmost part of Ukraine, where it was bred.[4]: 510  It shares its early history with the Russian Heavy Draught bred in Imperial Russia in the second half of the nineteenth century, and until after the Russian Revolution known as the Russian Ardennes; later development took place in Ukraine, where it received official recognition in 1999. It was bred for draught work, but it is also reared for meat and particularly for mare's milk, of which it is a high-yielding producer.
