Chinese Mongolian horse
Mongolian horse breed in China / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chinese Mongolian (simplified Chinese: 蒙古马; traditional Chinese: 蒙古馬; pinyin: Ménggǔ mǎ) is a breed of horse, corresponding to the population of Mongolian horses that remained in China after Mongolia's independence in 1910. Possibly descended from Przewalski's horse, it has been domesticated since ancient times. In 1982, they accounted for a third of all horses in China. Since then, their numbers have declined sharply, under the influence of mechanized transport and modern lifestyles.

This small, sturdy horse with great endurance comes in four types: Ujumqin, Abaga, Baicha and Wushen. The Chinese Mongolian is usually ridden or used a packhorse to transport local people. Mares produce milk, which is harvested and consumed as a traditional beverage. The breed is mainly represented in the Chinese province of Inner Mongolia, but is also found in small numbers in neighboring regions.
