The Giara di Gesturi ia a high and steep-sided basaltic plateau, which extends for about 42 km2 in the southern central part of the island of Sardinia. This area is the home of the Giara horse, which is a horse breed native to the island. It is one of the 15 indigenous horse "breeds of limited distribution" recignised by the italian breeders' association. While of small size due to the hostile environment in which it lives, and sometimes called a "pony", it is considered a true horse.
