The Chinese Pony is another breed based on the Mongolian
pony and the Asian Wild Horse. It is typically a primitive yellow dun with a
black eel stripe, dark points, and zebra stripes on the legs, although
sometimes other solid colors do occur. This pony is hardy, surefooted and
strong, with a deep body and upright shoulders. Its hindquarters are short
and sloping and its legs are sturdy and fine; it has a difficult temperament
and is mainly used for light farm work, transportation, pack work, and
occasionally riding. They tend to stand between 12 and 13 hh.
