The Zaniskari or Zanskari is a breed of small mountain horse or pony from Ladakh in northern India.[6] It is named for the Zanskar valley or region in Kargil district.[7] It is similar to the Spiti breed of Himachal Pradesh, but is better adapted to work at high altitude.[8] Like the Spiti, it shows similarities to the Tibetan breeds living on the other side of the Himalayas in neighbouring Tibet.[4]: 197 It is of medium size, and is often grey in colour. The breed is considered endangered, as there are only a few hundred alive today, and a conservation programme has been started at Padum, Zanskar, in the Kargil district of Ladakh.
