  Horse Breeds - Miyako
The Miyako originated in Japan on the Miyako Island. It is used for riding and light draft. Miyako Island in Okinawa has been known as a horse breeding area for centuries, and small horses have always been found in this area. During World War II they were crossed with larger stallions to increase their size to around 14 hands for farming purposes.
