Intro
Similar to the Boeta Horse, the Sharta is bred in the Tashigang district of Bhutan.
Origins
Like the other breeds found in the country, this is a hardy mountain pony, shaped by the difficult geography and climate of their native area. Little information is available about them, but presumably they are a fairly old type. The breeds of Bhutan are notable for their high level of genetic diversity.
