About The Breed
The Dartmoor Pony is a native breed of southwest England, known for its historical significance dating back to the Middle Ages. Originally used to carry tin from mines, herd sheep, deliver mail, and serve as family driving ponies, Dartmoor Ponies are small yet robust, with a maximum height of 12.2 hands. Their colors include bay, brown, black, gray, chestnut, and roan. Renowned for their gentle nature, they make excellent children's ponies and are also suitable for small adults. While they appear wild, all ponies in Dartmoor National Park are owned by local pony keepers or farmers. The Dartmoor Pony Society promotes the breed, which has recently been listed as endangered, making it a rare but treasured part of Britain's equestrian heritage.
