The Kundudo horse is a feral horse population native to Mount Kundudo in eastern Ethiopia. Local people have known of these horses for about two centuries. Their numbers are very small. One account suggests they may descend from Abyssinian horses lost during 16th-century military conflicts, but that origin remains uncertain.
