Pryor horses can be any color, but the majority are dun, grullo and include red/blue roan. Most carry the markings of aincent primitive horses. These markings include the dorsal stripe down the back, stripes on the withers, and distinctive tiger stripes on the legs. The colors of the horses are usualy vibrant and clear.
      Their average size is about 14 hands high, and they weigh 700 to 800 pounds when maturing under feral conditions. Horses raised by people can grow larger. Due to their size, Pryor horses make great mountain horses and are easy to mount and dismount. Though small, they are dufable, intellegent, and shurefootedwith great stamina.
      They have fairly heavy bodies with good bones and medium-lenght necks. Their manes and tails are usually quite long, and they have thick, sometimes curly winter coats.
      Pryors have fine, neat heads with wide set, intelligent eyes and small hooked ears. The head profile is either convex or straight. The broad forehead tapers to the muzzle. The teeth meet evenly, but the upper lip is usually longer than the bottom, which helps when grazing on short grass. The nostrils are usually small and crescent shaped when the horses are at rest, but flare open when alert or during exertion.
      Sloped croups and low tailsets are common. The shoulders are sloping and long. Withers are prominent. Chests are a medium to narrow width.
      Leg chestnuts are either small or nonexistent: sometimes this happens on only two legs, while other times it happens on all four. They have hard hooves and rarely do they need to be shod: hooves are an ample size to accommpdate their weight.
Some have a distinctive five-lumbar vertabrea, or the fifth and sixth vertabrea are fused, carerteristicts atypicaly of other horses, wich have a sixth and no fused vertabrea.
      Many exibit paso gaits, and genetic testing has proven that they are closley related to the porta rican paso fino, a definate spanish breed. Pryors are intellegent, strong, and exibit true colonial spanish type.
     The disposition of the Pryor horse is quite different than domestic horses. Once the horse gets to know and depend on a person, it becomes social, wanting to be around people, much like a dog, and wanting to be petted. Most Pryor horses are calm, having an easy going temperment, as well as smart and willing to learn. When trail riding, they are extremely alert to their surroundings and make great trail horses, because of their  stamina and surefootedness.
