- Petiso Argentino
The Petiso Argentino is a new
pony breed developed from Shetland ponies and Welsh ponies imported by Argentine farmers in the first half of the20th Century . There is undoubtedly also a bit ofCriollo 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.References
