• The Hackney Pony is a smooth moving, gaited breed of pony that is mostly used in harness. Hackneys are known for their exaggerated leg movement, knees rising as high as possible and hocks coming right under the body with the pony carrying the tail and head high, with an arched neck. Hackney ponies are shown in four divisions, the Hackney Pony (Cob Tail), Harness Pony (Long Tail), Roadster Pony, and Pleasure Pony. Due to their tenacity, and fearlessness, they are top-tier show ponies.
