Somali horses

Since they are so small why were they never cross bred with larger horses? It looks extremely silly when you see a grown man on a pony sized horse.

Maybe they mated horse and donkey so they are mules?

We should breed them with the Arabian horses.

The Mongols forged the largest continuous land empire in history on the backs of short and stocky ponies. Lol
Their horses are even smaller than ours, slower than ours but tough. Somali ponies are well adopted to harsh environment and make a perfect war horse.

Harsh climate and no food I’m guessing?
