About the Eriskay Pony Breed:
The Island of Eriskay, was quite remote and difficult to access,
which meant that as other breeds were introduced to different parts of Scotland, these small and rugged ponies were kept isolated and stayed very true to their original type. By the 1970's there were only around 20 ponies left. Sometimes confused with another Scottish breed, the Highland Pony, genetic research has shown they are indeed, their very own breed. Average Height is 12.0hh -13.2hh.
