Here you are about Garrans.............
In Scotland a Garron is one of the types of Highland pony. It is the larger, heavier type bred on the mainland. The isles' type of Highland pony is generally smaller and lightly finer, but still within the bred standard. There is less difference today than there once was between these two types.
The phrase Garron was also use to describe a highland cross of a clydesdale horse used in farming, especially in the highlands and isles where a full size clydesdale would not have been as ecomonical

I love the fantastic Eriskay!
Sadly the Galloway pony died out years ago...
