Chamba Pony

Intro

Named for the Chamba people found in northeastern Nigeria and northern Cameroon, the Chamba Pony is more mysterious than the other Nigerian breeds. Traditionally they live in grassland areas so their ponies were probably used for light agriculture and transportation.

Origins

There is next to no information about this breed to be found. It is possible there was a native horse in the area that was updated with an influx of new breeds, probably the Barb and possibly Arabians or other breeds in the surrounding areas.
