Intro
The Guatemalan Pony is listed in the DAD-IS as a locally adapted breed, but information about them is sparse. Likely they are a country bred type that comes from criollo or paso blood.
Origins
Most ponies of this type evolve to meet the changing needs of local people. Parts of Guatemala are likely difficult to access with machinery, so horses may still be used for transporting goods or people.
