Albanian

Part of the Balkan family of horses, the Albanian is a small breed of horse with two different types.  Albanian horses originally were either Mountain or Plains horses, although interbreeding between the Mountain and Plains types have made it more difficult to see the difference.  The Mountain version of Albanian horses are shorter, about 12.2 hands, while the Plains Albanian stands slightly taller, at 13.2 hands.
