  • Dartmoor (pony)
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The Dartmoor pony has lived in southern England for centuries. It makes an excellent first pony for a child, and is used for a variety of disciplines. Because of the extreme weather conditions experienced on the moors, the Dartmoor is a particularly hardy breed with excellent stamina. Over the centuries it has been used as a working animal by local tin miners and quarry workers. It lives in a feral or "wild" state in Dartmoor National Park, Devon. It is closely related to the Exmoor Pony.

    Despite this, numbers have declined - from an estimated 25,800 in the 1930s to perhaps 5,000 today.

    Characteristics

    The small head has wide-set eyes and alert ears. Most are close-coupled, with strong hindquarters and loins. The Dartmoor has short legs with a medium amount of bone, and tough feet. They have a free shoulder, with flowing gaits. The ponies have a full mane and tail.

    The Dartmoor pony has a kind temperament, the ponies being reliable, gentle and calm. Its eyes are very understanding and have an intelligent sheen. Under the breed standard, introduced in 1924, a Dartmoor pony should stand at no more than 12.2hh, with most between 11.1 and 12.2 hh, and should be bay, brown, black, grey chestnut or roan; piebald and skewbald (caused by interbreeding) exist but are not recognized by the breed society; large amounts of white are also frowned upon.
