The Tarpan is an extinct horse, but through the modern miracles of genetic technology has been brought back from extinction. The Tarpan is presently considered to be the ancestor of every lightly built horse breed.
Tarpans are very calm and have a gentle disposition.
They are known to their owners as curious, friendly, quite affectionate, and very intelligent. Their calmness is perfectly suited for small children and they have been successful with handicapped riders. They are also known to be independent and stubborn. Tarpans are not easily domesticated, and do not like to give up their freedom. While Tarpans enjoy riding and puling carts, they don t like being told where to go, or what to do.
