The Gotland pony or Gotland russ is one of the worlds oldest horse breeds and is an old Swedish pony breed. Gotland ponies are thought to descend from Tarpans that lived on the small island of Gotland that is on the South-Eastern coast of Sweden right after the last ice-age more than 10,000 years ago. The Gotland pony is the only breed of pony native to Sweden.
