You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.83.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''[[Galloway]] pony''' is an extinct [[horse breed]],<ref name="theequinest.com">((Cite web|url=http://www.theequinest.com/breeds/galloway-pony/|title=Galloway Pony|access-date=2019-06-05))</ref> once native to [[Scotland]] and northern [[England]]. It was said to have "good looks, a wide, deep chest and a tendency to pace rather than trot." In the 18th century Galloways were bred in [[Swaledale]], to haul lead ore.<ref>((cite book |first1=John |last1=Satchell|first2=Olive |last2=Wilson|title=Christopher Wilson of Kendal: An Eighteenth Century Hosier and Banker|year=1988|publisher=Kendal Civic Society & Frank Peters Publishing|isbn=0-948511-50-8|page=53))</ref>

The breed was mentioned by [[Shakespeare]] as "Galloway nags" in [[Henry IV, Part 2]]. <blockquote>"Thrust him down stairs! know we not Galloway nags?"

Pistol - Henry IV, Part 2 by William Shakespeare<ref>((Cite web|url=http://shakespeare.mit.edu/2henryiv/full.html|title=Henry IV, part 2: Entire Play|website=shakespeare.mit.edu|access-date=2019-06-05))</ref></blockquote>

A survey in 1814 stated:
<blockquote>
The province of [[Galloway]] formerly possessed a breed of horses peculiar to itself, which were in high estimation for the saddle, being, though of a small size, exceedingly hardy and active. They were larger than the ponies of Wales, and the north of Scotland, and rose from twelve to fourteen hands in height. The soils of Galloway, in their unimproved state, are evidently adapted for rearing such a breed of horses; and in the moors and mountainous part of the country, a few of the native breed are still to be found. … This ancient race is almost lost, since farmers found it necessary to breed horses of greater weight, and better adapted to the draught. But such as have a considerable portion of the old blood, are easily distinguished, by their smallness of head and neck, and cleanness of bone. They are generally of a light bay or brown colour, and their legs black. The name of Galloway is sometimes given to horses of an intermediate size between the poney and the full-sized horse, whatever may be the breed.<ref name="Sinclair1814">((cite book|last=Sinclair|first=Sir John |authorlink=Sir John Sinclair, 1st Baronet|title=General report of the agricultural state, and political circumstances, of Scotland|url=https://archive.org/details/generalreportag02sincgoog|year=1814|publisher=A. Constable & Co.|location=Edinburgh))</ref>
</blockquote>

The Galloway pony heavily influenced the  [[Newfoundland pony]], the [[Highland Pony]], and the [[Fell pony]] of England.<ref name="theequinest.com" /> It died out through [[crossbreeding]] because its crossbred progeny were such useful animals, much like the [[Narragansett Pacer]] breed of Rhode Island.

In Australia, the term "Galloway" is used to describe horses between ((hands|14|and|15)) tall.<ref name="Agriculture1903">((cite book|title=Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fMxFAQAAMAAJ|year=1903|publisher=Western Australian Department of Agriculture.|page=11))</ref><ref name="SMH1898">((cite news| newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |date= 28 February 1898|page =6|title=Kensington Pony and Galloway Races|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/14167824))</ref>((efn|the term was also in use in South Africa in the early part of the 20th century<ref name="Bruss">((Cite web |title=Three-year-olds in the Cup |last=Bruss |first=Robin |work=news.tabonline.co.za |date=n.d. |access-date=26 July 2019 |url= http://news.tabonline.co.za/Major-Races/SA-Majors/G-BETS-Gauteng-Summer-Cup-Turffontein/Fact-File |quote=In 1950 it was decided to phase out Pony and Galloway racing and the Dingaans Plate of 1954 was the last race for measured horses. ))</ref> ))
