Abstract
Based on the corporal measures made on the stallions we determined the main corporal indices of Romanian Sports Horse, Shagya and Romanian Semigreu breed in the conditions offered by Rădăuţi troop. In this work we analyzed the conformation indices as compactness index, bone index, index of massiveness, index of height difference and index of the lateral body format. Romanian Sport Horses are robust animals with fine bones. The stallions from Shagya Arab are characterized through preeminent bones. The stallions from Romanian Semigreu stallions are robust animals. The values of corporal indices registered at horse population taken into study meet the current criteria of evaluation, falling within the breed standard.

Key words: stallions, corporal indices, breed
