Chincoteague Ponies (Assateague horse)

Equus ferus caballus

Description:

"While phenotypically horse-like, they are commonly called "ponies". This is due in part to their smaller stature, created by the poor habitat present on Assateague Island. Variation is found in their physical characteristics due to blood from different breeds being introduced at various points in their history. They can be any solid color, and are often found in pinto patterns, which are a favorite with breed enthusiasts." -wiki

Habitat:

Island of Assateague
