Exmoor Pony

Another one from the archives. Taken on Exmoor over 6 years ago. Note the horse in the background!

The Exmoor pony is a rare native breed recognised by the Rare Breed Survival Trust and is listed in their Watchlist under Category 2, Endangered.

There are approximately 500 breeding mares and 100 licensed, registered stallions in any given period of 5 years producing between 100-150 foals per year.

Foals are bred into the free-living herds on Exmoor - the home of the Exmoor pony, and also in in-ground and free-living situations throughout the UK, Europe and North America.

You had a willing subject here Rosa. A beautiful pony captured in a great composition. I like graduated tones of the pony going from dark to lighter. Thanks for the interesting notes.

Have a good day, Doug

They are not as used to people as the Dartmoor ponies, but if we take care, we can get quite close.

Beautifully composed Rosa................I like those sturdy-looking ponies and the signpost and fallen branch make great foreground interest. I really like the tree with the red berries overhanging from the left.........and the colours in the grasses are wonderful.

Thank you for you very kind comments Keith. I am hoping to visit Exmoor again sometime this year....fingers crossed!

Lovely colour variations in the pony and in the surrounding grasses. Good that they are winning. I was reading about Eriskay ponies a day or two ago who come from an island in the outer Hebrides. They used to be used as pack horses for gathering seaweed until tractors took over. It's good that attention is being given to these rare breeds.

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Jean

Thank you Jean. I wonder how many breeds we have lost in the UK in the name of progress?
I just looked up Eriskay ponies. Their dappled grey coats are really beautiful! I will see if they are in Sophie's book of ponies, next time I see her.
