The ponies may reach 13 hh, and are brown, bay, chestnut, black, or gray in color. They are not particularily pretty horses, having been bred for function rather than looks. The head usually has a straight profile, the neck is muscular. The back may be long, and the croup is sloping. The ponies have less-pronounced withers, and a rather upright shoulder creating a short stride (which is desirable in mountainous terrain, even if considered a fault in a riding horse). The chest is deep and wide, the hooves are small and hard, and the legs are fine, yet strong.
