Native pony to the areas around the rivers Sor and Raia, running through Portugal and Spain.
Today it`s numbers are very depleted.
The Sorraia has an appearance remarkably similar to the prehistoric cave paintings found across the northern Mediterranean and the Iberian peninsula. Not surprisingly, it has recently been genetically linked to the now extinct Tarpan that once ranged throughout southern Europe and into Asia.
