Intro
The Narym pony comes from the region near the Ob River in western Siberia and is very similar to the Priob breed, except generally more robust in stature. The two share similar physical characteristics as they are shaped by similar climate and conditions. Some consider them to be two different subgroups of the same northern forest horse breed.
