The farm is home to other rare, unusual or distinctive species.
The KONIG POLSKI: these little Polish horses are the descendants
of the Tarpan, the wild horse which inhabited the steppes, forests
and moors of Europe, alongside the bison and aurochs.
The last specimens of the tarpan were distributed to the peasants
by the Polish nobility at the beginning of the 18th century.
The KONIG POLSKI is the descendant of the Tarpan, to which it has
remained very close genetically. A small size (1.1 m 1.3
m), grey colour with a stripe on its back, hardiness, courage and
gentleness characterize this horse.
La Ferme de lAurochs is a member of the French Konig Polski
association, which maintains the herdbook of the Konig Polski.
