Java Pony

Java ponies have a light body with a short neck and a somewhat plain head.

The Java ponies are very willing, quiet, and they have very good temperaments.

They are often piled high with both goods and people but the Java ponies pull them with little apparent effort.

Unlike other Indonesian breeds, the Java pony is often ridden with a wooden saddle that has quite extraordinary stirrups.

The exact breed of these horses is unknown, but they may have been Arabian, Persian or similar to the Java Pony.

The Java Pony is primarily used in agriculture in rural areas and for the transportation of passengers and goods in the cities.

The Java pony is a breed of pony developed on the island of Java in Indonesia.

Today's Java pony is not startlingly similar to the Arabian in conformation but does seem to have inherited the Arabian's desert nature and remains highly resistant to heat.

There are eight pony breeds native to Indonesia, the others are the Batak Pony, Gayoe, Deli pony, Bali Pony, Java Pony, and Timor Pony.
