Anadolu Pony – Horse Breed of the Week

The Anadolu Pony is the most common of the Turkish breeds and can be found throughout Turkey. Their bloodlines are more than 1000 years old, and draw on even older breeds such as the Arabian and Akhal Teke, Kabarda and the ancient Anatolian horse.

This breed is known for their intense strength and their ability to withstand poor conditions with ease.

Not Much Out There

There isn’t much documented online about this breed and for one so frequently found in it’s native land I know there has to be info out there. If anyone has information about or pictures of the Anadolu Pony, I’d love to hear from you so I can further complete their breed page. As always, I’m glad to provide credit and links to anyone who wants to contribute.
