Przewalski Colt Arrival At Woburn Stud
The Duke of Bedford has acquired 12 Przewalski's horse colts born last year. They resemble ponies more than horses with white muzzles on most foals and short ears. The herd shows variations in tail conformation and a dun winter coat, with dark legs and upright mane. Hoofs are larger than typical donkeys. The finding places Przewalski's horse in a separate true-horse group alongside Kiang, while zebras and African wild asses form another group, with shoulder stripes generally absent in true horses.
