Origins

This is an ancient breed and it’s origins are a mystery, however it is thought that they come from a combination of Celtic ponies, Arabian & Barb animals. They are similar to the Losa & Asturian breeds. These animals were used primarily for agriculture, however the mechanization of the industry put them out of a job. Today there is a small herd of these animals living wild but protected, they live with very little human intervention.
