The Highland Pony is the only horse breed I know of that would not add any hugely different characteristics to our breed. The Haffie and the Fell and the Black Forest and the Welsh Cob are all similar size but are just too different in some really, really important ways. We better keep our bloodlines in good shape, we don't want another Rimfaske War! Thank heavens for our stringent rule against close linebreeding and inbreeding . this practice alone should save our breed from the problems other small breeds have. If a problem should crop up, we will have lots of pockets of untroubled lines in different regions and in other countries. Meredith Sessoms Moulton AL ~ Dorina . NFR Aagot . TK Anjanette .
