Andino pony

Country Of Origin Peru
History and Background Andino Pony comes from the high peaks of the Andes in Peru. They are a smart, robust and surefooted breed, honed by natural selection in the tough terrain they inhabit.
As with all breeds in the Americas, the Andino pony is descendant from the horses of Spanish Conquistadors. Over the centuries natural selection has created a smaller, more compact animal well suited to the local area. This breed is rarely found outside of Peru.
