Proper Name[edit]

What is the real name of this pony? - Gotland Pony or Gotland Rus? Everywhere I have read it says that it's called the Gotland Rus. ɸSwannieɸ 19:39, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning of "russ"[edit]

According to my encyclopaedia, Nationalencyklopedin, "russ" simply means "horse" in the Gotland dialect. Because of the unclarity, I remove the sentence for now. // habj 19:50, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's in fact the same word as horse; both russ and horse come from Proto-Germanic *hrussa. / JiPe (81.235.131.216 (talk) 12:45, 15 March 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Offering picture[edit]

File:Gotlandsruss.jpg looks like a really nice shot that shows the conformation of a good quality horse. Pitke (talk) 08:52, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's a cutie. I think a good addition to the infobox; full body shots of one animal are the best there. The photo that's there can be moved down the page into some other logical location. By the way, Bay with Pangare? ;-) Montanabw^(talk) 20:11, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong colors[edit]

The horses indeed can have the color pinto, there are several approved stallions whom are pintos. I've tried changing the text many times but someone always changes it back. Some approved stallions are for example: Allgunnens Yes, Stig-Helmer and Bloka Joker. Bloka Joker pictures — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.73.128.106 (talk) 19:58, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
