Konik Horses

I think he knew I was taking his pic and posed for me.
 
Handled with love, he loves attention and is a good, calm all around Stud.

Handsome is not only a rare breed but is a rare Silver Grulla color.

The Konik (Polish: konik polski) or Polish primitive horse is a small horse,  originating in Poland.

The Polish word konik (plural koniki) is the diminutive of koń, the Polish word for "horse" (sometimes confused with kuc, kucyk meaning "pony").  

Koniks show many primitive features, for example some breeds have the dun coat and dorsal stripe.

Not Handsome, his is on the side of the even more rare breed of horse, the Tarpan.

He is 14.0 to 15.0 hands high and his color is the hard to come by without paying a fortune, Silver Grulla.

He is a Konik Pony, a rare breed from the recently extinct Tarpan, and is only $2,800.00.

You will not loose out on this one
for the asking price.


Tarpan Horses

In 1936, Professor Tadeusz Vetulani of Poznań University began attempts to breed the recently extinct tarpan back to its original state.

To achieve this he used horses from the Biłgoraj area descended from wild tarpans captured in 1780 in Białowieża Forest and kept until 1808 in Zamoyski zoo.

These had later been given to local peasants and crossbred with domestic horses. The Polish government commandeered all the koniks that displayed tarpan-like features.

The result of this selective breeding program is that semi-wild herds of koniks can be seen today in many nature reserves and parks, and can also be seen in the last refugium in Białowieża Forest.

Because he loves everybody, he will answer to anything I think.

You tell him "come ere Handsome" and he will come to you, after all, look how Handsome he is.

We love him and he will be a good horse for you to love too. He is only 2 years old but green broke.

Green Broke means: Beginning to accept a saddle, bridle and a rider or harness and vehicle. Training ranges from a horse with his first successful ride with no bucking, rearing, bolting, etc., to a horse that is just about ready to move into the intermediate/advanced stages.
