There are two well-known horse breeds that are native to Scotland, and neither of them have very imaginative names.

The smallest is the Shetland, originating in the Shetland Isles off the coast of North Scotland.

The other is the Highland, a large, hardy and robust mountain horse originating in the highlands.

Both are very adaptable breeds, used for companions, showing, riding, handling, and at stud. Both breeds are well known world wide.

Hope this helps

What is a native horse breed?

A native horse breed is any breed of horse or pony native to a specific country - for example, in Scotland, the Highland Pony; England, the Exmoor Pony; Ireland, the Connemara Pony; Wales, the Welsh Mountain Pony; France, the Camargue; North America, the Mustang; Spain, the Barb...etc, etc. A Thoroughbred, though developed primarily in England, is not a native breed, as it has not evolved naturally in the country - neither is the American Shetland "native" to America, as both have been developed through selective breeding, and not primarily naturally evolving like the native ponies or horses, like the Mustang.
