What does GARRON mean in Scrabble?
noun
IrishScots
A small, sturdy pony or workhorse of a breed traditionally used in Ireland and Scotland for farm work and rough terrain.
A garron is bred for toughness rather than looks, shaped over generations to carry loads and riders across boggy, hilly ground where larger horses would struggle. Highland and Irish farmers traditionally used garrons to haul peat, carry supplies, and work steep fields unsuitable for heavier draft animals. The word garron is still used today for hardy native ponies kept for hill work and light farm tasks.
