The Skyros: The Forgotten Horse Breed You Need to Meet

#3 – ONLY 150–300 PURE SKYRIAN HORSES REMAIN

Today, there are only about 297 horses, 182 of which live freely on Skyros Island. Climatic conditions on the island are particularly harsh. The winter is cold and rainy while summer is scorching, giving the Greek moor a Scottish look. Since any animal numbering less than 1,000 individuals is considered to be under threat, Skyrian ponies are definitely an endangered species.
