Sažetak
In 2003 an intensive registration of ponies was started in the Croatian Livestock Center which resulted in a significant in¬crease of the number of ponies in the central register of the Rep¬ublic of Croatia. The population of the Croatian pony is phenotipically and genetically rather diverse and by the exterior charac¬teristics very similar to the Shetland pony. To a smaller degree there are characteristics of other pony breeds. By gender, all body measurements are insignificantly higher in females except for significantly bigger long bone circumference in stallions (P < 0.05). Comparing body indexes per gender only significantly higher boniness has been determined in stallions in relation to females (P < 0.05). By withers height (99.94 cm) pony population in the Republic of Croatia can be classified in the group of small ponies.
