This breed was discovered in September 1995 by the French
explorer Michel Peissel and is believed (snort) to be the missing link in
horse evolution (yeah right). It greatly resembles the ponies depicted in
cave paintings in Tibet. The Riwoche has an angular shape with a heavy head
and a bristly mane. Their coats are typically beige with an eel stripe down
the back and zebra markings on the legs. The local Bon-po people of the
Riwoche valley round up the ponies and use them for work quite often.
