About The Breed
The Bosnian Mountain Horse, also known as the Bosnian Pony or Bosanski Brdski Konj, is a hardy and sure-footed breed with a history spanning over a thousand years. Native to the rugged terrain of the Balkans, these small yet powerful horses have retained primitive genetic traits that contributed to the survival of early horse populations. Known for their resilience, they can thrive in extreme weather conditions, require minimal care, and are remarkably free from disease. Historically vital for transportation and agriculture in mountainous regions, they remain an important cultural and equestrian heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Slovenia. Today, dedicated breeders and associations are working to preserve this endangered breed for future generations.
