Abstract

The Posavina horse, which is the topic of the authors first work, really exists. The proof of its existence are numerous written records of the experience and tradition of its breeders and its apperance on the centuries-old pasturelands of Posavina its natural habitat characterized by heavy rainfall, frequent floods, fog, snow and mud, with which the Posavina horse creates almost a symbiotic relationship. The organized heeding work is aimed primarily at the protection of this indigenous breed and symbol of Croatia, which now becomes a part of the European and world natural and cultural heritage
