Results of this study showed that 16 (8.1%) of the 198 examined Jeju Ponies. However, 349 JejuPony crossbreds had no innate pacers. Of the 16 Jeju Pony pacers, 11 males (68.8%) and 5 females (31.2%) areincluded in the present study. In conclusion, only the Jeju Pony was innate pacers like other foreign breeds.
