Welcome to Blue Mountain Ranch
Home to SHG's Largest Yonaguni Breeding Operation
Est. 2005
We are dedicated to preserving the Yonaguni, a small native pony of the southwest islands of Japan. Its is a small, extemely rare breed of pony and has a gentle personality. In the old days these ponies were used transportation and plowing. Despite its size, it is very strong and hardy. But as technology soon replaced the need of the horse, the breed popluation in Japan was drastically reduced. This rare breed can only be found a few ranches today and number less than a 100 in total popluation.
We also breed the rare Noriker, also known as the Noric, a rare breed found in Austria. These heavy horses were used as work horses in the alpine regions for knights, farmers, and merchants during the Middle Ages. Much like the Youagunis, technology reduced the breed popluation today. Norikers are increasingly becoming sport horses and are being used both as driving and riding horses.
