Giara horse
The Giara horse (Sardinian: ''Cuaddeddu de sa Jara'', (イタリア語:Cavallino della Giara)) is a horse breed native to the island of Sardinia. It is one of the fifteen indigenous horse "breeds of limited distribution" recognised by the AIA, the Italian breeders' association.〔http://www.aia.it/tecnico/equini/a_ra.htm〕 While of small size due to the hostile environment in which it lives, and sometimes called a "pony," it is considered a true horse.〔("Cavallino della Giara" ) Sardegna Agricoltura. IL SISTEMA AGRICOLO DELLA SARDEGNA. (official Sardinian Regional Administration page)(Italian) Accessed web page 12 March 2011〕
==Etymology==
In older literature, the name ''achetta'' (for a mare, ''achettu'' for a stallion〔Spano, Giovanni ''Vocabulario Sardo-Italiano e Italiano-Sardo'' (1851) (reprint)〕) is also sometimes encountered. It is no longer used because the Sardinian term it is derived from, ''acheta'' (variants: ''achetu, akkètta, akkéttu'') describes any small to medium sized horse.〔Wagner, Max Leopold ''Dizionariu Etimologico Sardo'' (1960) University of Heidelberg〕 The Sardinian term ''acheta'' itself is a diminutive〔 based on the root ''ácha'' and entered the language via Catalan/Algherese ''(h)aca'' "small horse", itself from Spanish ''haca, jaca''.〔 The word ''jaca'' again is derived from Old Spanish ''haca'', itself from Old French ''haque'', which in turn is ultimately derived from the English place-name Hackney, a place famous for its horses.
The term ''Giara'' ((サルデーニャ語:Jara), variants: ''ghiaia, yára, ǧár(r)a''〔) literally means "plateau, tableland", meaning the Giara di Gesturi, so literally "plateau horse".
