Horses and Ponies from the Celtic Regions: The Highland Pony


The Highland Pony is one of Scotland's oldest and most common breeds. They were molded by the harsh terrain to become these stable, surefooted ponies. They are used for riding, pack, and farm work. The Highland Pony Society was founded in 1923.
The height ranges from 12.1hh-14.2hh. Their colors consist of the Dun gene and the Grey gene, though the self colors, Black and Brown, do exist.
