The konik is often said to be related to the tarpan, an extinct wild horse from Eastern Europe. Like many other original horse breeds, the konik is small (pony size) and its coat shows characteristics of the wild colour pattern. These traits make the horse less visible to potential predators in the wild. The konik in the free range requires no grooming and can stay outside all year round. For this reason, the animal is used for grazing in nature reserves. The konik is also chosen because it has no characteristics selected by breeders specifically for use by humans. Koniks are virtually free of diseases that domesticated horses may have. Their character is described as willing, calm and frugal.
