About the Tarpan Breed
.The Tarpan was the primitive wild North
European horse of ‘Forest’ type, originally indigenous
to Southern Russia, Poland and Hungary, and which became extinct
many years ago. It came into being with the crossing of the
‘Forest’’ horse (a primitive Exmoor-like animal
also found in America), which moved south at the onset of the
Ice Age, and the southern horse of Arabian type. Whereas the
yellow Przevalski was the wild horse of the steppes and deserts,
the greyish Tarpan was the wild horse of the plains and woods,
and though of primitive type, was far less heavy in conformation
and with a much more attractive head.
The distinguished German zoologist and Director of the Berlin
Zoo, Professor Lutz Heck, noticed that occasionally among the
Polish Koniks a pale mousy foal was born, in colour and type
an exact replica of the vanished Tarpan. About 1932 he started
experimenting in the hope of bringing back or recreating the
Tarpan, by using Przevalski stallions on mouse-coloured Konik
mares. By the second generation a Tarpan foal was born. At first
it was too robust an animal to satisfy, but by strict selection
this Przevalski influence was corrected and now, some 70 years
later, the Tarpan is breeding true to type. X-ray photographs
of skulls, teeth, leg-bones and vertebrae confirm that these
ponies are true Tarpans, exactly similar to those which died
and left only their bones to show us what they looked like.
The Tarpan today is a 12 hand pony of a yellowish grey mouse
colour with black legs and tail, whitish belly, dark dorsal
stripe, and light upright mane with a black stripe down the
centre.
