- Pantaneiro - |
|||
 The Pantaneiro originated in the Norther Mato Grosso, in Brazil. Usually the turnout of colors tends to be 45% gray, 17% bay, 13% black and white, and 10% brown. The breed is well suited to the temporary flood conditions found in the Pantanal region. This horse is reported to be resistant, to the point of immunity, to the contagious disease Equine Infectious Anemia. This resistance has made them the ideal mount in the swampy regions of their native land. These horses are not light like a lot of other horse breeds, but are not suitable for pulling or great speeds. They have long legs, which should be an indicator that they are good for speed, but genetics says that they are not. There have been a lot of studies done on this breed, and a lot of information is available on those.
