Yes they are in fact the most endangered breed of horse in the world. There are now only about 5 of them left and they are not breeding and reproducing.
Not only are they endangered, but they are virtually already extinct. There is only one Abaco horse, a mare named Nunki, left on the island. With the help of science, they are hoping to bring back the breed using Nunki's eggs with DNA approved stallions, and using surrogate mares to repopulate this island, but the chances don't look promising.
