- Finnish Horse -

The Finnish horse is a coldblooded type of heavier horse. It was developed from the native Finnish ponies crossed with other breeds. Originally there was both a light and heavy strain, but only the light type still exists today. They are suitable farm work, light to medium draft work, riding, and are even used for trotting races.

The Finnish horse is a hard and willing worker with a lot of strength and energy. It has a chunky build with light, strong legs and a small, square, heavy head. They tend to exhibit a kind temperament and gentle eyes. Although chestnut is the most common color, bay, gray, brown and black also occur. The Finnish horse typically stands between 16 and 17 hh.
