Intro
Also called the Deliormanski and Dunavski kon, the Deliorman is a sturdy little Bulgarian Native type that is characterized by an extremely robust nature and the ability to withstand extreme conditions.
Origins
These horses come from Bulgaria originally where centuries of harsh weather conditions shaped their nature entirely. They are still kept in the wild and the breed is almost a study in natural selection. Today these animals are very rare and considered endangered although they are maintained.
