Faeroes Pony

Similar to the Icelandic Pony, the Faeroes Pony is of ancient origin and is among the purest breeds due to isolated conditions.  The Faeroe breed is found between the shetland Islands and Iceland on the Faeroe Islands.  The climate of the islands is mild and the temperature is quite constant.

Faeroes Pony has a resemblance to the horses brought from Asia to Europe around 200 A.D, and are small in size.  Most are bay color, with some black.  Their hair grows heavy in winter, but is thick year round.
