The Viatka is a rarely heard of breed that has been in danger of extinction for several years. These ponies originated in the areas around Viatka and Obva river basins of the former U.S.S.R. and were probably influenced by both the Klepper and Konik ponies, while almost certainly being a descendent of the Tarpan.
