 Statesman Artemy Volynsky, Yaguzhinsky's nemesis, took control of the stud farms in 1733.The business recovered slowly; by the time of Volynsky's treason trial in 1740 the farm in Bronnitsy had 221 horse and specialized into breeding riding horses.The next manager, Alexander Kurakin, increased the number of horses to 277 in less than a decade.
