Galician Pony
, country= Spain , group1= , std1= The Galician or Galician Mountain Horse, es, , gl, , is a breed of small horse from Galicia, in north-western Spain. It is genetically very close to the Garrano breed of northern Portugal. It was in the past used as a war-horse and in agriculture; it is now raised for shows and riding.

(1996), in "Xeografía Histórica de Galicia", Xerais, Vigo In the 1980s and 90s there was concern that the introduction ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
