The Indian Country-bred is an Indian horse or pony type of indeterminate mixed breeding. It is archaically known as tattoo from a Hindi word.[2]: 182 [3]: 613 These horses vary from good-quality riding horses to small and poorly-conformed animals used for pack and draught work.[4]: 200 They derive from many diverse horse breeds and types, both local and introduced from elsewhere. Among these are the small horses of the Himalayas of northern India, particularly Bhutan, Sikkim and Darjeeling, and the strong horses of the Punjab. Outside influences include Arab horses imported to Bombay and Veraval from the Persian Gulf, and the Australian Walers imported in very large numbers in the nineteenth century.[4]: 200
