THE GERMAN RIDING PONY
A PONY SIZED FOR SPORT !
A true miniature dressage horse, the Deutsches Reitpony is known and recognized today for its undeniable dressage talents. Its morphology helps it: orientation of the neck, strong and toned back, powerful and active hocks, right shoulder, fine fabrics and wide croup. Add to that just the right amount of blood for the competition, you get an exceptional pony, flexible and sporty, suitable for children as well as adults, with a cooperative character and naturally curious.
From numerous crosses, the German Selle Pony, the French name for Deutsches Reitpony, is, you guessed it, very present in Germany, since it is the cradle of its breed. Its best-known representatives are registered in the Rheinland, Weser-Ems or Hanover stud books, to name but a few.
Deutsches Reitpony is therefore a metered mixture of Welsh, Arabian, Thoroughbred and other English ponies, in particular. He is distinguished, of course, by his gait, often very demonstrative, with a wide step, an aerial trot and a naturally balanced gallop.
