  • Horse/Pony Equus ferus caballus Shoulder height 100-150cm In layman’s terms ‘Pony’ is used imprecisely to describe a small horse. However, several regional breeds do qualify more formally for the description. They are hardy and live semi-feral lives, usually in small social groups. Status Until 9,000 years ago Wild Horses still roamed Britain; the first Neolithic human settlers caused their extinction, replacing them with domesticated animals. Numerous horse breeds now exist; Ponies are the smallest and least developed of these.

  • Przewalski’s Horse Equus ferus przewalksii The last remaining race of the otherwise extinct Wild Horse, and the ancestor of modern domesticated Horses and Ponies. It no longer occurs in the wild, in its native Mongolia, but small herds are kept in captivity in our region, occasionally being used as grazers for nature conservation purposes. It is a stocky, short-legged and Pony-sized animal. It is grey brown or dun overall, often with a dark vertebral stripe and a mealy nose.
