About The Breed
The Pottoka is a small yet resilient horse breed native to the Basque Country in the Pyrenees Mountains. Thought to have inhabited this region since the Paleolithic Age, the Pottoka holds a significant place in local history and traditions. Standing at an average height of 124 centimeters, these sturdy horses are typically black or dark brown and develop thick winter coats to withstand the harsh mountain climate. Over centuries, they have showcased incredible versatility, serving in roles ranging from hunting and agricultural work to hauling carts in mines and clearing landscapes. Known for their survival instincts and adaptability, the Pottoka thrives in challenging environments but is now considered endangered.
