Reflexiones sobre la raza Poni Vasco “Pottoka”

Abstract

Of the issues that currently affect the Basque and Navarran ponies, their differentiation in three different Studbooks is the probably the most ill-conceived aspect. In this respect, currently, the Pottok-ANP has nothing to do with the Basque Pony - Pottoka, since its tendency toward a commercial pony prevails over the criterion of the Original Type.In the Basque Autonomous Community, this model has been used, transforming itself into a standard that does not absolutely reflect the real situation of the Hegoalde pony or the majority criterion of defending the Original Type.
