The Cow-pony Chianina is a gigantic not-so-much-of-a-pony breed found only in Horse Isle. It is modeled after the tallest cattle breed in the world: the Chianina.

Italy's oldest cattle breed:
It is unclear when the Chianina originated, but by the time of the Roman Empire it already roamed the lands of Italy. It is named after Val di Chaina (Chiana Valley), although it roams in other regions of Italy as well.

The Shire of the cattle world:
Originally, Chianina cattle was used for draft work, especially in agriculture. Italian farmers bred their cows to have strong, long legs, that provide a long stride while still supporting the cow's muscular body. Basically, the Chanina became the draft horse of the bovine world.

When it comes to horses, it was the breeding for large draft horses that generated the tallest horse breeds in the world: the Shire and the [American] Belgian. Cows are no different, with the Chianina becoming the tallest cattle breed in the world, reaching a whopping 19.2hh (although most of them are shorter than this).

The Cow-pony Chianina:
In the real world, crossing Chanina cows with horses is impossible. The Cow-pony Chianina is a fictional breed, that exists only in Horse Isle, and combines the Chianina's unique massiveness and appearance with some equine traits.

Conformation:
The Cow-pony Chianina is the most massive cow-pony breed in Horse Isle. It is more 'horse' than 'pony', sporting longer and thicker legs than seen in the other Cow-pony breeds. Their body is extremely muscular and super wide, similar to the bodies of draft horses. Their muzzle is squarish, as seen in real Chianina cows.

They always lack manes, and their tails are very thin.
