The Dartmoor Pony is a small, hardy breed native to the Dartmoor National Park in Devon, England. These ponies are known for their strong build, thick manes, and sturdy legs, making them well-suited for the rugged terrain of the moors. They typically stand between 12.2 and 14.2 hands high and come in various colors, including bay, black, and grey. Dartmoor Ponies have been used for centuries as pack animals and for riding. They are known for their gentle temperament and intelligence, making them popular choices for children and novice riders. Today, they are often seen grazing freely on the moors, contributing to the landscape's unique ecology.
