The Konik horse is a small, hardy breed native to Poland. Known for its primitive features, it has a sturdy build, a short mane, and a dun coat with a darker stripe along its back. These horses are well-adapted to harsh environments and are often used in conservation grazing to maintain natural landscapes. Originally descended from the Tarpan, the Konik horse has been bred to resemble this wild ancestor. They are known for their strong instincts and social behavior, often living in herds. Today, Konik horses are appreciated for their versatility and are used in various equestrian activities and conservation efforts.
