Java |

Java ponies were developed on the island of Java in
Indonesia. Most likely they are descended from wild forebears of Mongolian Wild
Horses. There are eight breeds native to Indonesia, the others are the Batak

Dutch East India Company played a part in the development of many different
Indonesian breeds through their introduction of oriental horses. Their first
factory was established on the island of Java during the 1500s and from that

Republic of Korea designated the Jeju horse

Jutland horses originate from Denmark. They have been
rumored to have given the English Suffolk Punch horses their own history, but
many feel it may be the other way around. The Suffolk breed is considered the
latter of the two, but also a more refined version. One stallion in particular
named Oppenheim LXII was one of the Suffolk Punch variations that went on to be
imported to Denmark. Just six generations later down the line, the horse Aldrup
Menkedal was given the label as being the founder of the breed. Virtually all
Jutland horses can be linked to the Hovding and the Prins of Jylland and their
two sons. In 1928, Jutland horses were traded to buy the Copenhagen area
brewery called Carlsberg. During those times, the brewery had
