Anadolu Pony

The mouth is small and the nostrils are open and flexible, while the withers are somewhat low, the chest is narrow and the croup is sloped.

Its mane will contrast its body coat and can range from fairly thick to thin depending on each specific pony.

This information was pulled from a study done by Yilmaz, Orhan and Mehmet Ertuğrul on the frequencies of coat color on the species in Turkey.

The Anadolu Pony is descended from crosses of Turkoman, Arabian, Persian, Karabakh, Akhal-Teke, Karbada, Deliboz, Mongolian and the ancient Anatolia horse.

Some books refer to this small pony as the Native Turkish Pony, or Turk, but Professors Salahattin Batu and M. Nurettin Aral made a distinction in types between the horses in Anatolia as Anadolu and East and Southeast Anadolu.
