Estonian Native


Description

		The Estonian Native originated from Russia through Novgorod in the 14th and 15th centuries. This horse has maintained many of its native characteristics and had not been notably influenced by any other breeds. The Estonian Native, however has been used in the influence of many other breeds development. The Estonian influenced Vyatka, Obva (extinct), Hackney, Tori, and Ardennes breeds. With the development of agriculture and the demand for working horses these native horses were crossbred with light harness and saddle breeds. A stud was opened and used to continue pure breeding and the results were very good with these horses having distinguishable strength and endurance. The demand for the larger horse led to the breed no longer being necessary on the Estonia mainland. The Estonian Native horses numbers were reduced to only about 1,000 horses and are found only on the islands of Muhu, Hiiumaa, and Saaremaa. Estonian Native also known as: Estonian Pony, Mestnaya estonskaya, Estonskaya loshad, Estonian Klepper
