Knabstrup basic information

The Pony type is smaller still and is a favorite of children all over Europe. The breed is usually around 15.2-16 hands high, but there are also pony sized ones (under 14.2).

The Knabstrupper horse exhibits the same color patterns as the American Appaloosa, as they share the same color genes. The most popular color pattern is the leopard with its solid white background covered with black, bay or chestnut spots. Other patterns include the blanket, the snowflake, the snowcap and the “few spot,” an almost solid white horse that, when bred, always produces a foal with a spotted pattern of some kind.
