It is quite probable that descendants of these same ponies accompanied yet another victorious army, the illustrious 14th, into Burma in 1945; for they were used, and valued, as military transport ponies in that most difficult of all battlegrounds.
From the general appearance of the breed it is reasonable to trace its descent from the Mongolian pony on the one hand, the influence of which is noticeable over most of east and south-east Asia, and from Arab blood on the other. And it is probable, too, that they do have some affinity, on that account, with the Shan ponies of Upper Burma. ‘These two ponies’, wrote Captain M.H. Hayes, ‘appear to belong to a distinct breed, which seems to have no relationship with ponies of any other country except possibly those of Sumatra and Java.’
The following description is taken from ‘Indian Farming’, August 1942:
“Though small in size, the animal possesses a proportionate body and is sturdy and sure-footed. The head is smart and carried well up on a clean, strong, muscular neck. The face is fairly long and exhibits an alert, gentle appearance. The muzzle is fairly broad with well-dilated nostrils. The chest is broad and the ribs amply-sprung. The legs are proportionate in size and of fine quality. Knees and hocks are strong, the shanks clean and straight, and the pasterns possess a gradual and proportionate slope. The animal measures 11 to 13 hands in height and the body-weight is about 650lb.”
