Konick horse

Konik horses are being used at the RSPB's Loch of Strathbeg site, between Peterhead and Fraserburgh, to harness the wildlife benefits of their grazing.

 

Koniks cope with harsh climates while foraging. This will save vegetation being artificially stripped away.

 

The breed is descended from the Tarpan horse which roamed Britain in prehistoric times.
