Origins
The Losino is named for the area where it originates, the Losa Valley in the north of the Burgos Province in Spain. They share bloodlines with the likes of the Galacian pony, Asturian pony, Sorraia, the Pottok & the Merens.
This breed maintained decent numbers until the mid 20th century when the lack of demand for their type caused their numbers to decline to critical levels. In 1986 a breeding program was established to preserve the bloodlines of this pony
