[ INDEX ] Equine Type: Horse Breed: Hackney Pony [ PREV ] [ NEXT ]
Origins
It was created in 1872, when a man named Christopher Wilson crossed a Norfolk/Yorkshire trotter stallion, named Sir George, with Fell Pony mares in order to create a pony version of the Hackney breed.
The resulting ponies, which combined the high action of the Hackney with a pony-like appearance and a small size, became extremely popular for pulling small carriages. They were exported all over the world, similarly to their horse-size counterpart.
Conformation:
Hackney ponies have a more pony-like appearance compared to the Hackney horse, especially in their ears which are relatively small, and their eyes which are relatively large. In addition, they also tend to have a more compact build.
