The braiding of the white pony's mane is interesting...

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon

at first glance it resembles the Icelandic pony....very popular with the Viking types..or possibly one of our British west country breeds...
I think the 'Exmoor' was typical of a chariot pony in the Iron Age...
yes, it looks like an Exmoor....[url:2w7htie5]http://www.exmoorponysociety.org.uk/ephc/stud01.jpg[/url] but I don't know about the coat colouring....

Their whole site is pretty amazing....I just wonder where and how they get the free time to perfect their skills like that...

I don't think we have anything on horseback like that in the United States until you get to the Civil War re enactors.

Thanks for the pics...if the ancient Celts had a comic book, this is what it would look like...very intense and intriguing. I'm impressed.
