Gotland Pony

The Gotland Russ or Gotland Pony is an old Swedish breed of pony or small horse. Until the twentieth century it was found only on the island of Gotland on the south-eastern coast of Sweden. It is now distributed through much of Sweden and is also present in some other European countries and in the United States. The Öland horse from the neighbouring island of Öland was a close relative of the Gotland, but became extinct in the early twentieth century.

It originates in Sweden and is recognised for harness racing, eco-pastoralism and Pony riding. These facts are recorded in Wikidata, which catalogues the breed under item Q1027725.
