![]() Java Pony in Indonesia | |
Country of origin | Indonesia |
---|---|
The Java pony is a breed of pony developed on the island of Java in Indonesia. It is thought to have descended from wild forebears of Mongolian Wild Horse ancestry.[1]
Characteristics
Java ponies have a light body with a short neck and a somewhat plain head. The average height is about 12 hands (48 inches, 122 cm). They are found in a variety of colors, and are a robust breed noted for working ability and endurance. The lightweight conformation of the breed is well-adapted to the tropical climate of Indonesia. The Java Pony is primarily used in agriculture in rural areas and for the transportation of passengers and goods in the cities. They are privately bred throughout the islands, though breeding is in many cases subsidized by the state, and ponies on various islands of Indonesia have noticeable differences in breed characteristics.
