Livestock Census conducted by the Manipur Government reveals a decline in the population of the Manipuri Pony breed. Efforts to conserve the breed have been made, but challenges persist for pony owners. The decline is attributed to factors such as diminishing grazing grounds and lack of government incentives. The revival of grazing and polo grounds is crucial for the preservation of the pony culture. Manipur is the only state in northeastern India with its own distinct horse breed.
