  • The YonaguniorYonaguni uma (与那国馬) is a critically-endangered Japanese breed of small horse. It is native to Yonaguni Island, in the Yaeyama Islands in south-western Japan, close to Taiwan. It is one of eight horse breeds native to Japan.

    History[edit]

    In 1968 there were 210 Yonaguni horses. By the early 1980s, the number had fallen to little more than fifty. Numbers subsequently recovered slightly;[2]: 94  85 head were recorded in 2008.[1] The conservation status of the breed was listed as "critical" by the FAO in 2007.[3]: 71 

    In 2003, genetic analysis using microsatellite data found the Yonaguni to be most closely related to the Miyako and Tokara small-island breeds, and less closely related to various Mongolian horse breeds than were the Dosanko and Kiso breeds of the main islands of Japan.[4]: 378 

    Characteristics[edit]

    Like the other Japanese island breeds, the Yonaguni is small. Average height at the withers is 116–120 cm (11.2–11.3 h).[1]
