Chinese minihorses were discovered at the end of the 1980s during a national census and investigation on animal genetic resources. The existence of such kind of horses was supported by evidence from body measurements, historical records and bone fossils. Blood polymorphism of local breeds of minihorses has been tested. Chinese minihorses are postulated to have a separate origin from minihorses China.
Les poneys chinois ont été découverts vers la fin des années 80 lors d'un recensement national pour la recherche sur les ressources génétiques animales. L'existence de ce type de cheval avait été remarquée par des mesures corporelles, des indications historiques et des os fossilisés. On a réalisé des tests sur le polymorphisme du sang des races locales de poney. On pense que ces poneys chinois aient eu une origine diverse de celle du reste des poney que l'on rencontre en Chine.
