The Dulmen is the only native pony breed in Germany, now that the Senner pony of the Teutoburg Forest is extinct.The ponies look quite primitive and coarse. Some have the usual dun coloring, while others are brown, black, or chestnut, indicating infusion of outside blood. The ponies have poor hindquarters and a short neck. The horses usually stand 12 – 13 hands (1.2 – 1.3 m). The ponies make good children's ponies and adapt to domesticated life well. They are also good for driving in harness, and are also used to work the land. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
