What is a Zebrony?

Zebroid is a term given to any animal that is a cross between a zebra and any other Equidae (animals belonging to a family of horse sharing similar characteristics, traits and behavior).

Zebrony belongs to this family. It is the result of the copulation between a zebra and a pony. Another term given to it is zony. When a male zebra (stallion) and a female pony (mare) mate, their offspring is referred to as a zony. People also call it by different names such as ponibra and zeny. Obviously the names are derived from the names of their parents combined together (zebra/pony).

The physical attributes of a zebrony follow the characteristics like that of a pony only with distinguishable stripes like that of a zebra. However, the stripping is concentrated mostly on the rear and leg part depending on the zebra specie. Some zebronies may have the stripping scattered on different parts of the body particularly.

Typically, the height of a zebrony will not reach 5 feet just like the common pony, which has proportionately short legs but are considerable strong. The mane and tail are significantly thick and the neck is wide. Naturally, these characteristics will depend on the pony breed. Its color, too, will vary depending on breed type.

Zebronies are among the hybrids that are most commonly preferred for practical uses. This is because they are, like many horse breeds, clever and very trainable. However, they are considered to be, at times, stubborn, aloof, temperamental and can be difficult to manipulate. These characteristics are associated to their zebroid quality.
