manipuri pony
The King of Manipur introduced the game in the 7th century, using the swift state-bred ponies. The British became aware of the game in the 19th century, and eventually took it to Europe and America, where it thrived.
The Manipuri Pony is an ancient breed from India that is thought to have come from Mongolian animals that were later crossed with Arabian strains.
Manipur ponies are claimed as the mounts of the all-conquering Statecavalry which once terrorized northern Burma, though it is open to doubtwhether these ponies actually were Manipuris or were simply ponies whichcame from Manipur.
