List of Chinese horse breeds

This is a list of horse breeds usually considered to originate or to have developed in the People's Republic of China, including Tibet.

Chinese sources distinguish between native or indigenous breeds, which have been influenced little or not at all by imported foreign stock, and 'developed' breeds resulting from inter-breeding of native and imported breeds.[1]: 452  Some imported foreign breeds are bred pure; they are not listed here.
