Breed of pony
The
Petiso Argentino
is a new
pony
breed
developed from
Shetland
ponies and
Welsh
ponies imported by
Argentine
farmers in the first half of the 20th century. There is undoubtedly also a bit of
Criollo
blood in this pony, judging by the colour and conformation of the breed. As time passed, the Shetland and Welsh breeds were no longer distinguishable and the new breed, Petiso Argentino, was created.
