Huvac horse

Location

The Huvac horse/pony is native to northern Slovakia where it's skeleton remains have been found. These mountain horses have also been found in the eastern Carpathian Mountains of Romania. The Huvac ponies have been described as the most exceptional and typical of the mountain breed of horse. The breeding of these horses started in the difficult conditions of Romania in the town of Lučina in 1856. They were bred to be small brown horses with strong shortish legs and a dorsal stripe across their backs. Their endurance and sturdy build make excellent mountain horses. Generally, these horses are sensible, docile and very willing making them good children's horses. There are said to be three types of Hučul, though these now have interbred to a point of only hazy distinction. They are, or were, the Przewalski Hucul, the Bystrzec Hucul and the Tarpan Hucul.
