To meet this need, a limited experimental new introductory crossing between Tori horses and Hanoverian and Trakehner stallions was undertaken. The modern Tori is clearly a harness type and has a very clean and solid build. The chest is very broad and deep. The limbs are clean and properly set. The colours are chestnut, bay and reddish-bay.
Tori horses have good performance.
The maximum draft endurance with a pull of 300 kg was 1238 m and the maximum pull 880 kg. The breed's fertility is quite high, reaching 86 foals per 100 mares. The breed has spread throughout Estonia. The main breeding centres are Tori stud and the breeding farms at Pyarivere and Aravete state and collective farms.
