Origins
The Thai Pony or Thai Country Bred is a native horse of Thailand and while they are thought to come from Mongolian stock, their origins are a mystery. These animals have been used by the local people for transporting tea leaves & fruit from mountainous areas for many years. Due to their isolation they have developed without the influence of outside breeds for the most part, although more recently an attempt to improve them has introduced the blood of some Australian, New Zealand & English pony stock.
