List of Japanese horse breeds
This is a list of the horse breeds usually considered to be native of Japan.[1][2] Some may have complex or obscure histories, so inclusion here does not necessarily imply that a breed is predominantly or exclusively Japanese. In Japanese, this breed group is called "kokunaiuma".(国内産馬, domestic horse)

Crossbreeds
There are also five crossbreeds that have been developed from existing breeds:[3]
- Japanese Draft (日本輓系種)
- Japanese Sports Horse (日本スポーツホース種) - Equestrianism, general riding[note 1][4]
- Japanese Riding Horse (日本乗系種) - Equestrianism, general riding[5]
- Japanese Pony (日本ポニー種) - General riding[6]
- Japanese Miniature Horse (日本ミニチュアホース) - Pet[6]
Current crossbreed names were established in 2003,[note 2] and the general breed classification "乗系種" (riding horse) was split into Sport Horse and "normal" riding horse.[6]
There is also a sixth crossbreed definition, heavy crossbreed (輓交種), defined 2007 solely for the purpose of determining the proper registry for a foal.[6]
