The Pindos (Greek αλογάκι της Πίνδου) is a pony native to the Pindus mountain range in Thessaly and Epirus, Greece.
The Pindos is believed to be a descendant of the ancient Thessalian horse. It is used for riding, driving, and as a pack and draught animal. Its hooves are very strong and Pindoi are very rarely shod. The usual height for a Pindos is thirteen hands, and the typical coloring black, bay or brown.
As of 2002, there were four hundred sixty-four breeding mares and eighty-one studs.
