Indian Country Bred Horse

Origins

The Indian Country Bred Horse comes from the Himalayan region of India and is a combination of the Bhutia, Spiti & Tibetan pony bloodlines. These animals have been cross bred for so many years that the distinction lines between each breed have blurred.

Although they are tough little ponies and able to handle high altitude, unstable footing & poor nutrition, they are not the most beautifully put together.
