- Sicilian -

There are two types of Sicilian horse - those from the east are of a higher quality and lighter than the inland types, which are in turn slightly more robust. Although these highly strung horses are not particularly hardy, they do exhibit great stamina. They are found to be quite useful for riding and light draft work. Their usual colors are bay, black, gray, and chestnut, and their average height is betweem 14.3 and 15.2 hh.
