Intro<\/h3>\n

The word Chwal is Haitian Creole for horse and likely comes from the French word for horse, cheval. This is the name for a type of local bred small horse or pony that is common to those found on other island nations.
\n<\/p>\n

Origins<\/h3>\n

Haiti shares an island with the Dominican Republic, which is very different culturally. Like many island cultures, Haiti doesn’t appear to have any deeply held equestrian traditions. The Dominican Republic is host to many of the same breeds found in most Central or South American countries. As they share an island, the Haitian animals are likely to share genetics with Dominican Criollos<\/a>. As the DAD-IS shows Haiti has a criollo type, but it is not considered native (it is in the DR).<\/p>\n
