ABOUT THE BREED

Hmong horses come originally from Mongolia, Sichuan, and Timor. Over the years, they have adapted to the environment where they live as well as the population with whom they live. In this case, the Hmong people are small in size and stature.
 
The ponies are about 110cm and 135cm tall, weigh around 200 to 250 kilos and can carry up to 65 kilos.They are found exclusively among the Hmong ethnic group in Laos. These horses are becoming rare. They were used in the past for the construction of electric lines in the mountains of northern Laos, which were inaccessible by elephants or motorized vehicles. They were also used by farmers to carry the sacks of rice harvest in the mountains and bring them back to the villages. Somewhat like donkeys, they are used by the Hmong ethnic group mainly as pack horses.
There are a few Hmong horses in Xiengkhouang province, where the landscape is composed of wide grasslands. Currently, Hmong horses in Xiengkhouang province are raised for livestock and unfortunately, are sold and sent by truck to Vietnam for their meat.
 
These small horses are the size of a pony, but the shape of a horse. They are purebred, robust, and have no major health problems. Untouched by humans and medication, they require very little care and maintenance.
