- Hucul -

These ponies, which stand between 12.1 and 13.1 hands high, come in the colors of dun, bay, and piebald only. The Hu'ul originated from the Carpathian mountains in Poland and is the prime example of a working pony. It is traditionally used under harness and as a pack horse for trips over difficult mountain tracks. These horses are built perfectly for their trade with a short, compact body, strong hard legs, and sound hooves. The Hu'ul is a hardy, sensible, and docile breed and can be trusted with almost any difficult work, throwing their all into everything.
