The black Noriker stallion is immediately recognizable as a robust mountain horse: small and compact, it can master even the steepest trails with a sure stride. Its calm nature makes it popular as a workhorse. But beginners and children also love the good-natured Noriker. No wonder: He looks so friendly too!
The Noriker or Noric horse is one of the oldest mountain draft horses in Europe, originating in the foothills of the highest Austrian mountains, Grossglockner, and being indigenous to the Central Alpine regions. Initially used for transporting a lot of goods from one place to the other, they are immensely popular in the present times because of its pleasant temperament, surefootedness, and agility.
