Dartmoor Pony

Deriving from the British Isles, the Dartmoor Pony is from an England moorland in Devon. The area is barren and rocky with bleak conditions and sparse grazing areas. This explains the toughness of the Dartmoor Pony. After many centuries of roaming the moorland, they had to endure tough conditions.

The Dartmoor Pony has been used in many different situations. For example, the royal reign of Henry I, a Dartmoor Pony stallion was used to breed with royal mares. Furthermore Dartmoor ponies were used for transporting mine tins to area towns. They have also been used on farms and in prison situations.
