The Tolfetano horse is
originally from central Italy, and in particular from Monti della Tolfa, the area
between Rome and Viterbo which was once Etruscan.
The breed was already well-known
at the time of the Etruscans. It is very hardy, and still bred in the wild. This
breed is strong, well-built and tough.
Once used as a pack-horse
and for rounding up cattle, it is now normally used for riding in the countryside,
or raised for meat on pasturage unsuitable for cattle.
