The Virginia Highlander is a small breed of horse with a four-beat ambling gait.
Coat colors include roan, chestnut, black and gray, and the occasional white.
Pogo was a small crossbred horse thought to have been sired by a Welsh pony, out of an Arabian/Tennessee Walker mare.
His owner William (Bill) M. Pugh was intrigued by the good-natured, naturally gaited stallion.
The registry began with two foundation stallions named Shadow of the Ridge, and Pugh's Red Cloud.
