The Yushu is a subtype of the Tibetan horse which originated in the plateaus of Tibet. It excels as a pack horse for transporting cargo in the high elevations of the plateaus and mountains of Tibet.

Conformation:
Compared to the other types of Tibetan horses, Yushus often have a wider head than average, and a level neck carriage. The rest of their conformation is similar to that of an ordinary Tibetan horse.
