The Konik horse is a small, hardy breed native to Poland. Known for its strong build and adaptability, this horse has a distinctive coat that can range from gray to brown. Koniks are often used in conservation grazing, helping to maintain natural landscapes by grazing on grasslands and wetlands. Originally descended from the Tarpan, a wild horse that roamed Europe, Konik horses have been bred to retain their primitive traits. They are known for their intelligence and calm temperament, making them suitable for various equestrian activities and a popular choice for nature reserves and parks.
