Tiny but Mighty: This Ancient Greek Horse Still Exists Today | National Geographic

at the moment is the only small horse

breed that survives in the Greek islands

It's possible that some horses at some

Point went to the Island and they

adapted to the local conditions and

that's why they are smaller from Far

Away You don't realize that they are so

small because they are well proportioned

have the as a larger horse definition of

the horse is no taller than 11

preferably smaller no White markings of

Any Kind So no White Stars no White

socks to be a block

color D dark brown a thicker ma and tail

which is more kind of non domesticated

horse strong hard

ho

eyes pretty

in is was LG

popul War few Horses and they were used

in agriculture we were concerned about

one the Ware of thean Horses that they

were not in Great Shape they w In Good

condition but two really concerned about

they not being a definable breed very

few that the same we became both

interested from a conservation

perspective but also from a welfare

perspective and then sty very much was

like but Within that we have to have an

education perspective to change local

people's opinion about what the skan

Horse is how we should look after it how

we should protect it the university got

involved because they wanted to

reconstruct the pedigrees especially for

a breed that is small in numbers it is

important to know the relationships

between the Animals so that in breeding

is

avoided when we first started off we

were breeding and that was our main

concern from the horses that we bread

That We've kept we then could begin to

train those horses for riding train

those horses for driving train those

horses for aqu Agility so Exploring

different ways that the pony has value

in a contemporary Society and in a

Society such as Greece Where There's not

a long history of activities by moving

on the p that we now able to go into the

Big World and Hopefully promote the Scan

Pony and the island We can then breed

with the Mares That We've bread which

are better quality than the Mares we

originally had to produce Hopefully even

better quality
