Highland Pony
The Highland Pony is a native British pony, and is the largest of Britain's 9 native breeds. Its pedigrees date back to the 1880s.
Highland ponies almost always have primitive markings: dorsal stripe down the back, stripes banding the legs, and shoulder stripes. They usually have dark points. They are the only British native breed to have these markings occur frequently.
Highland ponies contain Arab blood; also some French blood and a bit of Clydesdale is thought to have contributed to the Garron.
The Highland pony has inhabited Northern Scotland for many years and was used as a pack and agricultural pony. Highland ponies were also used as a hunting pony and driving pony. The Highland Pony Society was formed in 1923.
The Highland Pony is an ancient breed whose hardy constitution has been formed over centuries by the incredibly harsh conditions found in the Scottish highlands and Isles.
The Highland horse has been used extensively throughout the course of history. Originally used by royalty as a symbol of status, both politically and economically, the Highland became even more popular in Scotland when pony-trekking was introduced.
The Highland is a calm and friendly pony.
