The Exmoor

The Exmoor is believed to date from prehistoric times and the moor's isolation meant there has been little cross-breeding to change the pony from its early ancestors.

They are extremely hardy and run wild, but are rounded up once a year for  branding and registration. They are strong enough to carry adults and despite their wild upbringing, make good children's ponies with training.
