The Pantaneiro horse is an important social and economic part of the infrastructure of cat-
tle farms in the Brazilian Pantanal. It is of Iberian origin and closely related to other Brazilian breeds, specially Mangalarga, Mangalarga Machador and Campolina. Physiological studies have shown this horse to be tolerant to long treks and capable of being maintained on natural pastures. The Brazilian Pantaneiro Horse Breeders' Association has registered, to date, approximatelya 1 600 mares and 300 stallions, the bulk of which are in the Pocone sub-region. The horse is considered small and fast. Linear measurements taken at registration are shown to be, in general, higly heritable. The population has a vulnerable status. Charcterization studies showed that a combination of genetic and physical characteristics of the Pantaneiro makes it a unique population athat must be conserved. Recent trends in selection may threaten the rusticity and adaptability of this valuable genetic resource. In this paper, several research studies are reviewed and areas where research and technical training are needed are highlighted.
