Dartmoor Pony Horses
The Dartmoor Pony is a beautiful feral pony, living primarily in
Southern England. They are said to have great endurance and
stamina, and a great working pony or riding pony.
Dartmoor Ponies are considered ideal for use as work
ponies, primarily because of their hardiness and ability to work in
harsh climates. Dartmoor Ponies are strong hoofed. Dartmoor
Poinies live in the wild in Dartmoor National Park, in England.
However, there are many domesticated Dartmoor Ponies also. The
Dartmoor Pony has greatly decreased in numbers, and is said to have
declined a great deal in population since the 1930s.
Dartmoor Ponies are consistent in their coloring,
with the common coloring being bay, brown, black, gray chestnut or
roan. There are also Dartmoor Ponies with piebald, skewbald, and
a great deal of white—however these colors aren't recognized by
the breeding society. The breeding society was founded in 1924,
and now records are kept of the breeding activities of Dartmoors as
accurately as possible.
