Burmese
Pony
The Burmese Pony originated in the Shan state of Eastern Myanmar (formerly Burma), where it is bred today by local hill tribes. It shows similarities to the Bhutia, Spiti, and Manipuri ponies of the Himalayan Mountains, suggesting these breeds have a similar origin, most likely deriving from the Mongolian horse and other Eastern breeds. They are used as trekking and pack ponies because they are strong and well suited to the mountainous conditions.
