[4] A technical communication from Commonwealth Agricultural Bureaux in 1969,[5] followed by an official Chinese report in 1978,[6] indicated the existence of these horses as a distinct breed or type.

[7] Caroline Puel (1989) cites an overall average of 1.35 m.[4] CAB International (2016) indicates more than 1.30 m.[3] The data are 1.27 m for females and 1.30 m for males according to the DAD-IS database, managed by the FAO.

[1] The University of Oklahoma study (2007) gives a lower overall average of around 1.25 m.[2] The Ujumqin is reputed to be better conformed than other strains of Chinese Mongolian, thanks to the quality of the grass in its native territory.

[8] Among the various types of Chinese Mongolian horse, the Ujumqin is the closest genetically to the Wushen,[9] which is surprising given the great geographical distance between the two breeding areas.

[1] It is mainly found in the Xilingol League in eastern Inner Mongolia,[8] but has also spread to neighboring agricultural regions in northern China.
