Country Of Origin | Brazil |
History and Background | The Baixadeiro is a small horse inhabiting the heavy marshlands of Brazil and is presently the recipient of a conservation program. It is a breed that is near extinction. The Baixadeiro Horse of the Lower Maranhense is an extremely old breed that looks somewhat like the Pantaneiro Horse of the area, but they are much smaller. They are dismally under-developed, perhaps because they inhabit lands that are virtually wetlands most of the year. Today formal breeding programs have been set up to continue the lines as these animals have been used in the area for centuries. |
