Sandalwood Pony

The Sandalwood Pony is a breed of small horse originating from Indonesia, on the Sumba and Sumbawa Islands.

The Sandalwood pony is one of the finest in the country, partly due to the great amount of Arabian blood.

They should have a nice head with small ears, a short, muscular neck, and a deep chest with a sloping shoulder.
