Garrano-Pony

Postby Mey-Rin » Sat Feb 26, 2011 3:58 am

I coloured this using a referance from a book - The Encyclopedia of Horses & Ponies

Both the Garrano and the more famous Sorraia are breeds that have developed from the same stock and have developed along different lines according to their habitat. The Sorraia livies in Spain, mostly between the rivers Sor and Raia, and the Garrano lives in meighbouring Portugal. The Garrano or Minho, as the breed is sometimes called, mainly lives in the fertile regions of Minho and Tras os Montes, and has probably been more subjected to outside infusions of blood than the Sorraia. There are similarities between primative cave paintings of the Paleolithic era and the Garrano, which indicate the breed's antiquity, and it's generally considered that the Garrano is one of the ancestors of both the Andalusian and the little-heard Galician.

In apperance, the Garrano is now an attractive pony of some quality, bearing some Arab-type traits. This is especially seen in the head, which is fine and often has a concave profile, although it can also sometimes be slightly heavy. They tend to have small ears, large lively eyes and a long neck set to a straight shoulder. The back is short and compact, with sloping muscular quarters, and a low set tail. They are deep and wide through the chest, and have short, strong legs with hard, broad joints, and well-formed hard hooves. They are mostly a bay or cheastnut in colour, and stand at between 10hh and 14hh.

I copied the text from the same book but typed it all up *phew*
