Konik Pony - In long grass. Norfolk Broads National Park, Norfolk, England. Breed originated in ancient lowland farm areas in Poland, direct descendant of the wild European forest horse or Tarpan that once roamed across Europe and is now extinct. Used widely in Europe to manage wetlands by keeping land open and improve habitat for certain wildlife, graze on weeds, reeds, rushes and other plants. Conservation grazing projects use these ponies to improve habitat for bitterns, corn crakes, spoonbills and other species
