The Highland Pony is a native British pony, and is the largest of Britain’s 9 native breeds. Its pedigree dates back to the 1880s. It was once a workhorse in the Scottish mainland and islands, but today is used for trekking and general riding.
Breed Characteristics
The Highland Pony is one of the two native breeds of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. As a result, it has, over many centuries adapted to the variable and often severe climatic and environmental conditions of Scotland. The winter coat consists of a layer of strong badger-like hair over a soft dense undercoat, which enables this breed of pony to live out in all weathers. This coat is shed in the spring to reveal a smooth summer coat. This essential hardiness is combined with a kindly nature and even temperament.
The height is 13hh to 14.2hh.

@ElizabethWells I could dream of a Highland pony too. Even a Fjord. Just love the pony personality in a chunky, muscley body.
