Horses and Ponies from the Celtic Regions: The Exmoor Pony

The Exmoor Pony is the oldest pony breed in Great Britain. Like the Dartmoor Pony, the Exmoor still lives in semi-feral herds on the moors. They are used in many different disciplines that range from farm work to riding. The Exmoor Pony Society was formed in 1921 and the first studbook wasn't produced until 1963.
The height ranges from 11.1hh-12.3hh. There is only one color that is present in the breed, and that is Mealy Bay.
