The Faroe pony, Faeroes pony, or Faroese horse,[1] (Føroyska rossið) is a small pony, with a height between 11.1 to 12.1 hands (45 to 49 inches, 114 to 124 cm). Technically this animal is a pony due to its height, but in the Faroe Islands it is called a horse because of its strength. Since the Faroe pony only lives on the Faroes, it is not well known in other countries. Currently, there are only 94 Faroe ponies left living on the Faroes.[2]
