If you wrote a book documenting all the breeds you've met and ridden, I'd totally buy it. It would be the most comprehensive breed book, because usually they miss out on so many breeds.

[@annakhjelm146]

I totally agree! 😁

[@ninakaiser2930]

That’s an amazing idea - and another movie please 😊

[@bser2293]

What a neat little pony. I have never heard of them before.

[@christinafragis7224]

Thank you so much for introducing all these wonderful ponies from Japan. They are absolutely gorgeous!!

[@Faelani38]

They are adorable. Yes that was a very postcard view. Very pretty there.

[@birgit4314]

Super video! Thank you Alissa 🐎🫶.

[@ninakaiser2930]

How did I miss this episode?? Absolutely stunning. I love that you make each episode and each breed so special. And it’s so lovely to learn about the history and background. Very special!

[@satoshijames4134]

I'm a fan. You're good. Thanks.

[@pjk1714]

Looks so fun. With so few, it's a slow process to increase without breeding health issues.

[@ck4426]

What a beautiful video and beautiful ponies. Thank you so much!!!

[@kathyhepler382]

Thank you for showing these beautiful ponies!!!!

[@ponylovermadden4560]

Oh I just love these adorable ponies. I'm a pony freak since childhood and have had many in my lifetime. Ponies are what made me the person I am today.

[@WhiteTiger333]

Wow - look at how far out the shallows go in that stretch of beach. Ponies from Mongolia! Sweet to see the ponies enjoying their beach ride with the humans.

[@BishoujoMegami]

I totally agree with you about these ponies❤ They have a great gentle and quite nature but are so responsive to the leg! I had the privilege of volunteering for a ranch in okinawa that had yonaguni, miyako ponies and cross breeds. It was my best riding experience ever! ❤

[@ruthlowndes8331]

So cute

[@ms22401gal]

What a beautiful animal. 🐴 I’d not heard of this breed. They can really hustle. Woohooo!

[@spiridoulaathanasopoulou9244]

Bravo Alyssa 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SimplyGobsmacked]

Never heard of them before, but they are gorgeous and seem so sweet.

[@martinq]

Thats awesome

[@DiscoverTheHorse]

Thanks Martin!

[@MarcoNotPolo]

Cute little ponies, I'm a little confused though, are they Japanese or Mongolian ponies or is that the same, haha, I'm not sure ✌️😊

[@picobello99]

They're Japanese, but their ancestors came from Mongolia long time ago.

[@gmariet1391]

No , never heard of the yonaguni pony. 😊🐎

[@elivenya-theautisticbookwy9638]

It makes me very happy that you are introducing endangered breeds. People are looking to much for western sporthorses.

[@catzdollz9810]

Have there been any exports to other countries? This pony has a very unique appearance.

[@yogeshwagh8630]

come to india to ride MARWARI horse breed ..... unique EARS and NECK

[@tesserau3156]

I love these videos, but I don't think those ponies are meant for adult sized people, even small adults.

[@barbgeorge5662]

Never 4:48

[@joannesmartens9442]

Why there are so many small horses in japan? Because of the japanees people were much smaller? This is already the fourth diferent small horsebreed that you showed us. They're all the same, maybeyou can't recognice your horse, same color, same manes, no marks...😊

[@ponylovermadden4560]

they are PONIES is why they are small not because the people are small!!! They're not all the same to a true horse person we horse lovers can tell who is who in the dark even if they're all solid black! You sound like you're complaining because it's the fourth small breed? Maybe you should try a gold fish. Obviously you're on the wrong page.

[@joannesmartens9442]

@@ponylovermadden4560 no way, but i can see there are only small horses in japan, and they are not called pony. But i never saw big or normal horses over there. I love allyshas videos. Because she is showing us horsebreeds witch we never heard about. And it's interesting. And i could see her also ride on more normal horses, witch we know all, like friesians, thoroughbred, apaloosa, fjord, haflinger, pre, and so many more. I miss not one video. But the icelantic horses are small because the original people were smaller. And look: in japan even the warhorses are small. They are not considerated as pony. The icelantic is'nt pony neigther.😊

[@joannesmartens9442]

​​​@@deebee2603 i understand, but here we could see only same color.. What i meant to say about small horses is because i think there are not big original horses in japan🥰 but i can't find anymore the conment pony lover madden

[@picobello99]

​@@joannesmartens9442 There's the Ban-ei draught horse from Japan, those aren't small at all. Also, 110-140 cm is the original size of horses. Look at wild horses such Przewalski, Konik, etc, they're all this size. Untill 1500 or so larger horses (150+ cm) didn't even exist!

[@joannesmartens9442]

@@picobello99 don't know those horses, but i told only that alyssa showed four small original horses. Maybe she will show us others like this draught horse. I kmow there are big horses in japan, but mostly not original from japan. I hope she will show us more horses in japan. 😊
