\n<\/p>\n

Origins<\/h3>\n

The Riwoche is thought by some to be a missing link in equine evolution between prehistoric wild horses and modern domesticated equines. They were discovered only recently by the west, however the local Bon-po people have been using them for centuries. <\/p>\n

Although it is uncertain where they fit into the equidae family tree, the Riwoche pony is a very old breed and they have been kept genetically pure due to their extreme isolation, which makes them valuable in their own right. <\/p>\n
