Gotland pony

Gotland ponies are Sweden´s only indigenous breed of pony. Since the Stone Age, wild ponies have lived on the Swedish Island of Gotland. They used to freely roam the forest. Animals that were needed for farming or as a means of transportation were captured and farmed. The breed today is endangered.

Although today they are numerous, they are well-worth preserving for the future. At the Museum, Gotland ponies are used for light field work and for transportation within the area.
