Chinese Guoxia
Pony
There are many different breeds of horse in China, most of which are ancient and descended from the Mongolian horse. Although many of the breeds are small in stature, they are considered to be small horses, not ponies, and will often, when provided with good care and adequate nutrition, mature well over 14.2 hands. Many of the breeds within China bear distinct regional differences, so although they may have descended from common ancestors, they have developed differently according to their habitat and climate. However, one breed is considered an actual pony breed and this is the Chinese Guoxia, found in southwest China.
