The ponies of Scotland. — Because of the prox- imity of the Shetland islands to Scotland, there are many Shetlands there, as in fact there are in England, and many of the ponies of Scotland are but a cross between the Shetland and a Welsh or some other pony. Many of the larger ponies of Scotland resemble much the Welsh cob. In times past a pony was often referred to as a Galloway. In fact, to this day the name is often seen. The Galloway, so-called from the part of Scotland known by that name, was once very popidar. Youatt, in his second edition, 1846, describes it as thirteen to fourteen hands, sometimes more, bright bay or brown with black legs and small head. As the size was not considered desirable, it was crossed with larger breeds, until now the original Galloway has entirely disappeared. Fig. 29. — Hackney pony mare. horse. For fuller notes, see.
