Is there a native bread of horses in the Philippines?

There isn't a specific "native bread" of horses in the Philippines. The term "bread" generally refers to a specific breed of horse, and breeds are developed through intentional breeding programs over time.

While there are horses in the Philippines, they were likely introduced by various groups throughout history, including:

* Spanish Colonization: The Spanish introduced horses to the Philippines during their colonization starting in the 16th century.

* Trade and Migration: Other groups, like the Chinese and Malaysians, also brought horses to the Philippines during their trade and migration periods.

These horses were often used for transportation, agriculture, and even warfare. Over time, these horses interbred, resulting in a mixed population that doesn't have a distinct breed designation.

However, there are some local horse types in the Philippines, often referred to by names like:

* Kabayo: This is a general term for horse in Filipino, not a breed.

* Karabao: While often called "water buffalo" in English, this term is also used in some areas to refer to horses, especially those used for work.

These terms reflect the history of horse usage in the Philippines, but they don't describe a specific, recognized breed.
