Yugoslavia

    I am including this country even though it no longer exists until I can decide how to relate its breeds with the modern political divisions.  (Actually, since I plan on having pages for extinct breeds, I may keep pages for extinct countries, too!)
    The Yugoslavs also breed the Hungarian Nonius, and as in most other countries, there are studs of Arabian horses.  One source also indicated that Serbia and Croatia (in what was Yugoslavia) are the home of the Bosnian konik (the Bosnian pony mentioned above and the Konik I have always associated with Poland may or may not be what this is referring to), the Karster horse, and the Posavina horse, as well as English Thoroughbreds and halfbreds, Lipizzans (see above), Nonius (large and small strains), Noric drafts, Hungarian horses, and a number of other imported breeds.
    The Bosnian mountain horse is a strong, hardy and enduring Yugoslavian breed, of pony size (52-56 inches tall), with some Arabian blood in its makeup.
