Intro<\/h3>\n

The Jawa or Java pony is similar to the Timor breed<\/a>, however they are larger and stronger than most of the other Indonesian pony breeds. While they are more powerful, they are perhaps among the more refined and handsome of the nation.
\n<\/p>\n

Origins<\/h3>\n

This breed was developed on the island of Java at some point in the 17th century by the Dutch East India Company. Local stock was crossed with imported Arabian<\/a> and Barb<\/a> animals. According to the DAD-IS this breed is “very old” and a composite of Chinese and Mongolian bloodlines, but doesn’t mention the Arabian<\/a> or Barb<\/a> animals. <\/p>\n

Image examples of horses from the different islands clearly sets some of the Java animals apart, with finer, taller head and body conformation that speaks of Arabian influence. Animals of both types can be found in East Java, a land of volcanic deserts. Horses are still commonly used for transportation in that part of area, particularly for tourists. Modern day breeders may be crossing for finer small horses still as can be seen in one of the double cream<\/a> examples below. <\/p>\n
