The stud farm in Gavrilovo Posad is rightly considered one of the main attractions of the city. It played a key role in the development and popularization of the Vladimir heavy draft horse, a native Russian breed. However, before engaging in the breeding of this breed, the farm went through a long journey, including periods of closure and use as accommodation for cavalry troops and a transit prison. During the 1812 war, the farm suffered significant losses, leading to its disbandment. In 1886, under the leadership of A.B. Golitsyn, an important phase began in breeding strong and massive horses, which later played a significant role in the restoration of the USSR's economy after the war.

The first written mentions of the farm date back to 1587 (in Gundarov's report to the tsar), but it is believed to have been founded in 1565 during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, who was known to love horses.

Architecturally, the farm resembles a fortress with rows of stables and a white brick tower topped with a weathervane in the shape of a rearing horse. Later, this stallion adorned the coat of arms of Gavrilovo Posad and became its symbol. The farm not only has architectural significance but also played a role in the economic development of the region, as unplowed peasants were directed here, who then settled nearby and created trading rows.

The farm is located among the fields of Opolye, at the bend of the Irmes River, at the entrance to Gavrilovo Posad.
