The German Riding Pony gelding from the Schleich® Horse Club has a beautifully braided mane. Despite his small height, he looks like a big horse. That is characteristic of this pony breed. The animals have long, slender legs and an elegant physique. This distinguishes them from the regular ponies who usually have short, thick legs and a sturdy, stocky body. The German riding pony is also called miniature warmblood.
